Description

This resource contains 11 video clips of prominent biomedical researchers responding to the question: What qualities do you need to succeed in biomedical research? All of the researchers are Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigators. Transcripts are available on the site. Links are also provided to other HHMI resources that provide further information about the researcher's work.
