Researchers work at the frontiers of our knowledge and understanding of the world, and frontiers can be dangerous places. How are the researchers? personal qualities ? virtues such as courage, honesty and kindness ? tested and exemplified in their work? The conversations presented here explore the experience of research and ask what qualities are needed, or wished for, in order to successfully face its challenges. There are many books that include lists of what to do and what not to do when carrying out research. Here, in contrast, we find out what really happens and why ? and what it takes to keep going.
