      My Granny has Alzheimer’s disease so when I first started doing brain research on Alzheimer’s I had a personal reason to be passionate about the work I was doing. I realised how important it was to find treatments for diseases there are as yet no cures for. Now I know how research affects people who are ill it makes me motivated to carry on.

      Hiya! I don’t really have a personal reason – I just really want to a) discover things, b) help other people. I think doing what I’m doing allows me to do that.

      I’m interested in people generally, but there are personal elements too, noticing that strategies that worked for my personality type were not well represented in standard approaches spurred me to investigate further.

      Not really, although my wife teaches lots of kids with autism and ADHD. I mainly do what I do out of curiosity
