Studying for a PhD
"Edinburgh is a community. This was essential for me as a PhD student and I think it is essential for science. People need to open their doors, talk to colleagues, share and learn - Edinburgh nurtures this and it is a very special place as a result."
Dr Tim O'Leary, now Lecturer, University of Cambridge
