      You never really get told that you are scientist….I guess it just kind of happens when you get your first job. When I got my first research job, I was very, very happy. I REALLY wanted to do the research project that was on offer.

      Being a scientist is one of those things that just creeps up on you really. Even my first job it didn’t really feel like I was a scientist but just someone who was told what to do by scientists – it’s only really once you build experience that you realise that you’re now making the decisions for yourself.
