Entrevista a Bruno Nettl

This is not an easy question. Both are needed in society, and it is difcult to imagine a successful modern society without both teaching and research. I grew up in the system of research universities, in which the teachers are also researchers, and the research scholars also teach. In my personal experience, I found that teaching was very important in giving me ideas for research. And I found that to the extent that I had success as a university teacher, it was through including aspects of my research in classoom lectures and discussions.
