      Yeah, I really really do!

      It’s very interesting, I’m always finding out stuff I didn’t know before and I get to do something that I really think helps people… that’s good in itself, but also I get reasonable pay, great holiday (for a job), I get to travel for conferences (big meetings where scientists get together to share their research) and it’s flexible!

      I’ve done a few different jobs in my time and have seen my friends go through different careers, and I’d say that finding a job you like to do is SO important – it can take a long time (years and years) to work out what it is you love, but since you’ll be doing it day in day out until you’re 70 and retire, doing something you love makes life much nicer!!

      Love it, can’t imagine doing anything else. Even though it sometimes frustrates me more than I thought possible.
