What's the best career advice you've ever received?
What goes around, comes around.

No-one forgets me.

Sleep.

Do you feel diversity is an issue where you work?
It is an issue which is being addressed. I have good hope for the future.
What do you enjoy most about working in this industry?
Variety, challenge, great people, the chance to do good research.
