      When we make a discovery we write it up as a paper and publish it in a scientific journal. Other scientists then read about the discovery and if they think it is important then they will mention your work at conferences and write about it in their scientific papers. My work is mentioned a lot in the world of liver disease so in that way my work is backed by other scientists.

      None of my work so far was done entirely alone, so it is all “backed” at least by the collaborators. It is also cited by others on a regular basis.

      Yes it is. We are supported throughout the academic community and are invited to speak at conferences! We provide a really good service for free so it’s no wonder they like us!
