      Hmmmmm on a scale of 1 to 10, how truthful do you think we’ll all be with this question?!
      I’d give myself 8.5/10 because I work hard, but I also like to do other things with my time instead of science!

      Good question!

      Haha I definitely agree with Alison and her 8.5. Science is what we do almost all the time, but you’ve got to have some fun and time off too!

      It’s a 10 for me. I can’t really switch off completely even when I’m on holiday. I work weekends and I don’t take much holiday. But it is a personal choice and not a very healthy one, if I can reflect back on it now.

      Right now I’d agree with the 8.5 but in the past I’d have put 11 – lots of overtime!
