Two new additions to our Leverhulme collection have landed. We ask academics to talk about their work, the intrinsic value of their research and to reflect on their personal experiences. Here we have two Nobel Laureates giving their insights on what you need to make scientific discoveries...

Lots to digest in this, but notable that trust in scientists is maintained across many of the groups - indeed is higher than trust in neighbours for every group. It is a reminder that the UK is not the US and we need to be careful of importing analytical models of ‘culture wars’ based on the US
