  I think that I could always keep buying new gadgets to make my research better! Endless funds! Jokes aside, my supervisor keeps my research well funded, so I’m never really lacking anything I really really need! A couple of £1000 extra would be useful though (for the not so necessary gadgets that would be cool anyway)!
