"The fact that in our group nobody has published a paper as a single author makes me proud. For me science, like life, is best if you struggle to get there as a team. If all goes well, you have arguments on the way as you test each other’s thoughts and hypotheses, ask for solid proof or indeed throw some crazy ideas in the ring to liven things up a bit. You argue and have to make up, but in the end, the resulting data has been scrutinised, criticised and tested, and interpretations are fine-tuned. And quite apart from that, it has been fun along the way. Even on days when the science might not go so well, you know together you will get it to work, if not today, then soon. Much of our success in the group therefore also rests on having been so lucky to have the most wonderful collaborators over many years, both in Oxford and further afield." - Prof. Christiane Timmel
