title: A worthwhile investment: research-council scientists speak out.
abstract: This article looks at the work of two of the UK's research councils and the way their funding contributes to science at large, and to the scientists themselves. Nina Morgan talks to three scientists from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council and three from the Natural Environment Research Council about their interests and enthusiasms.
