Question: If you could have enough money to do what ever research over the world what would you do?

This is a really good question! I’d put more money into research into diseases that are linked to ageing – like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Our society is getting older meaning that there will be more old people than ever, and I think it’s important to put money into research that will make their lives easier and more enjoyable. I would also put more money into research around global warming, and how we can make sure that everyone in the world has enough food to eat whilst the environment is changing even more.
I’m a methodologist, so I’d also like to put more money towards improving the methods that we use to do experiments and research – that way we will hopefully get better quality results so that we can come up with better solutions to help make sure people are feeling well and are able to live well.
