      Doing experiments and looking at cells!

      Experiments are fun because it’s a bit like baking a cake, you throw lots of ingredients together in a specific order and at the end you get a nice result (or a bad result/it doesnt work). ANd looking at cells is always amazing as cells are just beautiful things!!

      Working with so many interesting and passionate people. The work is really varied too – I’m never bored!

      Every day is completely different, so things never get boring. Admittedly some days are better than others, but there’s always something new to learn and a new problem to solve.
