"During my undergraduate course in physics at the University of Edinburgh, we were getting a bit bogged down in it, and our lecturer said: "Let’s just take a break, because a really exciting scientific paper has come out today."

"My research has been funded by taxpayers throughout my whole life, so I have always been a keen science communicator. I’m not going to stop the day job with the research because I haven’t solved it."
