Hi,
YES, I work with other scientist all the time. There are about 20 other scientists in the lab I work in. They come from loads of different types of science, we have mathematicians, computer scientists, geologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists, cell biologists, microscopists. We all work together using our different expertise to tackle big questions.
We also try to work with scientist who are world leaders in their particular area, in different labs in universities (sometimes in different countries) to try and produce the best possible science!
Like Harriet and Andy, I work with loads of scientists. There’s too much for one person to know everything and do everything.
On my wishlist is John Rogers from Illinois. I want to learn how to make interfaces between our brains and the internet. You should check out this page because there are some mind-blowing videos on it, like people flying helicopters with electronics strapped to their arms. http://rogers.matse.illinois.edu/multimedia.php
Yes, same I work with lots of other scientists every day. I would love to hang out with David Attenborough and have him teach me more about the natural world. That would be great! Also Jane Goodall, she is an amazing scientist and being a Primatologist would be my next best job!
Successful science comes from collaborations and networking.
I was lucky I got to meet and work with many researchers during my PhD and hopefully I will work with more in the future. One of the good aspects of being a scientist is that you get to meet a lot of people with your same interests.
