      Hiya Lightee,
      Its good fun and enjoyable. Hard work but stimulating. I get to do lots of different things, lab work, reading, writing, talking, planing etc. I could never get board

      Hi lighteelikekimboo,
      It’s very exciting and fun most of the time but the drawback is that it is very long hours & sometimes you have to work on weekends. But I love science so I don’t mind too much 🙂

      Hi lighteelikekimboo!

      I often think it’s a priviledge – the things I get to play with every day are just incredible, I couldn’t have wished for it! I got to work in Japan and in the USA, I’ve been to conferences in really cool places, I’ve had the chance to work on brain tumours, on viruses, on super-survival bugs, on jellyfish DNA and lots of other things too!
      🙂 Sarah
