  Sometimes I have to work long hours, or during weekends, if the experiments require it. But in exchange I can take time off to compensate. I am quite free to organise my time as I wish, I really appreciate that about my work.
  My family lives abroad so I don’t see them very often. It would be nice to see them more but I am used to it. And I have many friends here (at work and outside of work) so I don’t feel lonely at all.
