      Guess my dream is to do some good with my life.

      To continue is a science career and be happy!

      I’m a Christian so we (as Christians) don’t generally talk of something like “my dream” in terms of having a personal life plan (or at least I don’t). Instead, I currently feel called to help people as a scientist and I feel it is where I should be at the moment. However, maybe next year, I’ll be called to something different. I suppose it is because, as a Christian, I am not my master although I am called to try and make the best decisions I can along the way.

      I hope my research will be productive and change lives but it is not for me to decide.

      I did once have a dream about a green elephant though…

      I have weird dreams! my last dream had Hitler dressed up as a clown.

      But if you mean what I want to do with my life, I want to make the world a better place for everyone. The way I can best use the abilities God gave me at the moment seems to be working in medical research, particularly looking at issues around social justice and inequalities.

      At the moment my research will particularly find out why poorer people are more likely to get antibiotic resistant infections, and how we can change this. I hope that in future I can do similar work too, but it is sometimes hard to find jobs which are exactly what I want to do!
