      Hi 363prmc53!
      I think that I would like to have my work remembered. That will probably happen in two ways. First of all, the research that I’ve published will have contributed to knowledge in my field. For instance, my work on the proteins involved in nerve to muscle signalling have helped people work out the structure of those proteins. Secondly, and probably more importantly, I’ll have made a contribution to the careers of hundreds of pharmacology and medical students. I’m sure many of them will remember me…. I just have to try and make sure those memories are positive!
      Best wishes
      Richard

      Hey!

      As long as I’ve done something worthwhile I’ll be happy. Of course I would like to make some great discoveries and win the Nobel Prize but finding anything that contributes to our civilisation or helps other people go on to make big discoveries is a good step.

      Thanks for your question!
      Laura

      Hi 363prmc53,

      I hope to have made positive contributions to the scientific community to remember me by, and to finally find/ confirm the cure for Osteoarthritis. I wouldn’t mind also becoming a professor 🙂

      Best Wishes,

      Vedia
