Most of the time it’s fun. It’s still a job, so most days are just normal – I work at a desk a lot, answer emails, write reports, go to meetings, work with students (that was most of my day today). But then other days I’ll be in the lab making something (tomorrow I’m going to build some electronic circuits for another project I’m working on). That can be fun (and also very frustrating if it doesn’t work, or if someone’s broken the machine I was planning to use…). Every now and then I get to travel around the world to go to big meetings with science – that is definitely fun!

Some of it is fun, some of it is hard work and some of it can be quite upsetting.
Teaching students is generally fun when we are doing interactive learning.
Seeing patients get better is amazing. But sometimes I have to tell someone some bad news or unexpected findings from a scan, which can be quite hard. -

Most of the time it’s fun! I get to work with lots of amazing people and talk about really interesting problems (e.g.why are the stars behaving this way – it’s totally unexpected and it doesn’t make any sense!) The least enjoyable part of my day is when I have to do coding (I really should have started learning and practicing it more when I was younger!)

Yes! Is super varied! Lots of planning for marketing strategies, creating exciting content for videos, talking to scientists and innovators about their work, creating social media content, filming videos, editing leaflets and brochures, and analysing data to improve best practise.
