Randy Schekman’s interest in science was sparked early in childhood. When his father explained to 12-year-old Randy that his microscope was only a toy, Randy was very disappointed. To save up for a “real” microscope, Randy ran errands for neighbours and others. His parents borrowed money from Randy's piggy bank to buy groceries, however, and forgot to return it. Randy went to the police station and reported his parents for theft. After receiving a phone call from the police, Randy’s father collected him from the station. On the way home, they stopped to buy this microscope.
Randy Schekman donated the microscope to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2013. - Location
