It has given my a really good life with a good work life balance. I have been lucky enough to work in departments that are really intesting while to salary I earn has allowed me to support my family.

Not so much but we do have difficult days…but when we make discoveries it is very satisfying and rewarding. Good to know that our work has an impact in the world š

It has shaped my life in many ways – the choices I have made and the jobs I have done. Looking back I have a lot of rich and unique experiences and moving forward it still fuels the passion I have to make a positive difference,

It has given me a career that I really enjoy.
It has also shaped the way I think and approach everything in life. To quote one of my lecturers, they said that through the degree you will think differently. you will start to think about things in a different manner. This has always stuck with me as it is so true- you see things from different angles and want to be able to ‘evidence’ what you are looking into.

I have to agree with the previous answers. Training in science helps you to think in a certain way so it impacts on many different aspects of life. It has certainly helped me feel more confident as I have progressed in my career. The biggest thing for me is the feeling not only do I get to use science in my career (which keeps it interesting for me) but Iām also helping people by doing so.

It’s given me the drive to always ask questions and to always keep on learning. Though it does mean I hate science in movies as it’s always really inaccurate!

It’s given me a career that I absolutely love. Personally I find work-life balance a little bit tricky, although that’s mainly to do with working shifts at the hospital and trying to sleep when everyone else is awake if I’ve got a night shift. It’s not all bad though – I get days off during the week if I work a night or a weekend shift, so I can go out and do things when places aren’t as busy during the week. š

I’m the opposite of Dawn. I have a terrible work life balance, and it might be that being a scientist has made that worse. But I am also autistic and it’s probably the fact I struggle to switch off that impacts.

It has given me a good career. It also ensured that my children grew up with an interest in science.
