I’ve been back from my fellowship trip for
almost one month now. I haven’t had a chance to post anything here because it
took me a while to recover from my very busy time in Europe! While not blogging
in this time I have been enjoying writing my trip summary and report.
While
I was overseas I came across a quote from Paul Ehrlich1 who said:
“To succeed in research you need four G’s:
Gluck, Geduld, Geschick und Geld” – luck, patience, skill and money.
If I
look at my scientific career, I’ve had a fair amount of luck, I’m learning to
be more patient and I am extremely thankful to the Churchill Trust for the
Fellowship which provided me with the money to both develop my own skills but
to also be able to draw on the skills of others.
1 Paul
Ehrlich (1854-1915) was a German scientist who won the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for his work on immunity.
