Abstract
This chapter will review the progress researcher development has made in the UK since it was initiated nearly two decades ago. Standing in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the author asks how researcher development came about and what lessons, especially with respect to culture change, can be learned. The success of researcher development is viewed as the result of a combination of talented individuals and external interventions, notably from funders. Contemporary challenges about an unhealthy research culture and concerns about doctoral wellbeing, raise questions about the robustness of researcher development and the structural limitations of the profession to effect change. There is, though, an opportunity here for positive change and the chance to create a new future.
