Question: Hi hope you have a good day and how does it feel like to be a scientist?

I’ve had an excellent day thank you! I hope you have too?

I do love being in science. I like working things out, asking Qs and discussing science with the other scientists. I guess being a scientist feels a lot like other jobs. Some days it feels great – things work and you have fun and then occasionally, things don’t work or something bad happens and it feels a bit tough. From an experimental point of view, things going wrong matters in science, because often we learn more from those experiments though – so always worth persevering!
