        Hi 492newg52!

        My favourite part of my PhD is the constant adventure I am on. Each day I come into work I am learning something new, and if I’m not learning I am probably furiously trying to fix a problem with my experiment! It never gets boring, and it allows me to then do things like this competition! Outreach activities where I have to talk about science and my life are great.. it helps make my adventure more interesting!
        Basically I think I love everything about my PhD, and I wouldn’t change it for anything!

        I think my favourite part of my PhD is learning new things all of the time and getting to see new results is really fun too!

        Hi 492newg52

        Ive finished my courses – but i haven’t finished learning!

        My favourite think about my job is getting to try reactions that no-one in the world has ever seen before – and being the first person to find out something new in the world.

        This doesn’t happen everyday – sometimes you have to work really hard for a really long time to see something new. But when it happens it the best feeling in the world!

        hope that answers your question! let me know if you want to know more 🙂
