My Typical Day:

Every day is different!  If I am in the lab, then I drop my boys at nursery and drive across town.  When I arrive I have a coffee and check my emails and plan my day, making lots of lists of things to do.  Then I’ll go into the lab, put on my lab coat and do the experiemtns for the day – these can change each day and are rarely the same.  At the minute I am writing up my work, in which case I often stay and work from home on the computer.  I like to have the option to go into work or stay at home depending on what fits my day best. This job is quite flexible and I have a fair amount of freedom to decide what I do each day.  We often also have meetings (online or in person) at the same time every week to discuss what we’ve done that week and troubleshoot.  We also attend seminars on cutting edge science to keep up to date with what others are doing.
