      A bit of everything really, but mostly determination – just like everything else in life! You need lots of enthusiasm, original ideas, and (unfortunately) someone with a lot of money who’s willing to pay for your research!

      I agree with Alison, it definitely takes hard work! One thing I wanted to add is that it helps to have a curious mind and to question everything!

      Agree with both Alison and Kerry – hard work and being really nosey about the world, and wanting to understand it.
