      Always doing something new and never having the same day twice!

      Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard sometimes and quite frustrating at times, but when you get an experiment to work or get a super result, it makes it all worth it 😀

      I think being in control of what you want to do. I don’t know many other jobs where you get paid to find out more about something that you’re really interested in, and find out something new that no-one has ever discovered!

      I think that it is being able to learn something new everyday. We are constantly finding out new things that no one has ever discovered before and that is exciting!
