      Yes, it’s my dream job. I really like reading and writing about science, planning studies, discussing data and analysing results. It’s very enjoyable to be finding things out!

      absolutely, it is so varied and makes you think the whole time. It also teaches you to stay humble as the more you learn the more you realise how little we know and how some of the things you might have thought to be true are not.

      I absolutely love my job. It’s so varied, there are always new and exciting things to think about, and it’s so relevant — I’m often spotting examples of how the things I work on are happening “in real life”. I agree with Daniel that it’s also very humbling — there’s so much we don’t know, and it feels good to be part of a worldwide effort to try little by little to understand more about our amazing world.

      Yes, I love it, my favourite thing about working as a scientist is to be able to design my own experiments and seeing every day how to find the best way of answering my questions.
