"I soon learned that it did not require a great brain to do original research. One must be highly motivated, exercise good judgement, have intelligence, imagination, determination, and a little luck. One of the most important qualities in doing research, I found, was to ask the right questions at the right time."

Julius Axelrod (Nobel prize winning scientist) quoted in Iverson (2005)
