      Yes, definitely. I think everyone should be given credit where it’s due. Science is teamwork!

      Of course.

      Almost all work in science is a collaboration between many people, the most recent work I was involved in had about 120 people named.

      Yes, of course. I lead a team and make sure that they get credit where they delivered the output. Indeed, they won some awards last year where I was involved in nominating them!
