AB  - I know Ole Didrik Laerum since 1971 when we both worked 
as post-docs at the Max Planck Institute of Virus Research 
in Tübingen. We co-operated not only scientifically but also 
educationally when we hiked with our children through the Swabian 
Alb. Sometimes Ole had a hard time when his three sons wanted to 
be carried at the same time and I could not assist him because my 
two boys hang already round my neck. This did not discourage 
him, since more children followed and today he also cares for 
foster-children in Ethiopia. 
Ole Didrik's scientific interests reach far beyond the subject 
of this interview and include topics such as chronobiology, 
aging and therapeutic aspects of different diseases and expand 
to profound contributions to the preservation of old Norwegian 
rural architecture and folk music. He actively plays several 
instruments and his good sense of humour can be judged from his 
contributions to the Journal of Irreproducible Results. When I mention 
that he was rector (elected president) of the University of Bergen 
for 6 years and organized numerous scientific conferences 
and workshops, then it is only to illustrate the problems of finding 
time and place for an interview with such an active personality. 
Thanks to telephone and e-mail connections these problems were 
solved without much delay.
