Dr Kirsty Bannister -- working class to neuroscience lab leader
"From a working class, first generation A-level student to recipient of the IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain) Patrick D. Wall award. I owe it all to mentorship. Love and gratitude especially to Tony, Frank & Mac for decades of support" -- Kirsty's words.
Shows the importance of having a purpose and a passion, ignited in part by people close-by.
Kirsty talks of luck. Wise people have said that the harder they worked, the luckier they got!
Kirsty has undoubtedly worked hard.
Encouraged by some of the big hitters in the pain world, Kirsty is now an encourager herself.
