ABSTRACT

‘[Y]ou put a geneticist and a pharmacist and a tinsmith, all these people together and you’ve begun to move a bit of the mountain … y’know this was a kind of corporate effort of survival simply because of all the different skills that we all had. And if you had enough energy and enough guts and enough of a willingness to do it then it worked, and I think that was pretty magical.’ (Chalker 2007: 11–12)
