In a previous autobiographical sketch for DNA Repair (Linn, S. (2012) Life in the serendipitous lane: excitement and gratification in studying DNA repair. DNA Repair 11, 595-605), I wrote about my involvement in research on mechanisms of DNA repair. In this Reflections, I look back at how I became interested in free radical chemistry and biology and outline some of our bizarre (at the time) observations. Of course, these studies could never have succeeded without the exceptional aid of my mentors: my teachers; the undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior lab visitors in my laboratory; and my faculty and staff colleagues here at Berkeley. I am so indebted to each and every one of these individuals for their efforts to overcome my ignorance and set me on the straight and narrow path to success in research. I regret that I cannot mention and thank each of these mentors individually.
在之前为《DNA修复》撰写的一篇自传性简述中（林恩，S.（2012年）《偶然之途的人生：研究DNA修复中的兴奋与满足》。《DNA修复》11卷，第595 - 605页），我讲述了自己参与DNA修复机制研究的经历。在这篇“反思”中，我回顾了自己是如何对自由基化学和生物学产生兴趣的，并概述了一些当时看起来很奇怪的观察结果。当然，如果没有我的导师们给予的非凡帮助，这些研究不可能取得成功：我的老师们；我实验室的本科生、研究生、博士后研究员以及资深实验室访问学者；还有我在伯克利分校的教职员工同事们。我非常感激这些人中的每一位，感谢他们努力帮助我克服无知，引导我走上研究成功的正轨。很遗憾，我无法逐一提及并感谢这些导师。
