  Of course. It does make me happy that my research will help people and improve their living.

  I might not be saving people directly, but through important work in the energy sector I can help improve the general wellbeing of the environment and people too.

  Hi – don’t tell anyone but I’m actually an Engineer!! Yes and Civil Engineers save more people in the world than doctors because we do things that help millions.

  I definitely like to do something that makes a difference, and helps people and the planet. We can all do our bit in everything we do to make the world a better place – whether that’s by brightening someone’s day with a smile or finding a cure for diseases!

  Of course! It’s amazing to see them smile and open up when a problem that they struggled with for months and years is being solved for them in mere weeks!

  Yes, very much! I work with air traffic control, so my work is important in keeping how planes fly safe, as well as making how they fly more environmentally friendly in future, so they are also better for the world.

  My work don’t directly save people, but it makes me very happy to know that at least I am making a difference.

  Absolutely! I think the amazing thing about science is that you can help people you’ve never met and you can help so many people. For example, I’m working to try and improve how we make electricity so it doesn’t damage the world. This can help so many people all over the world!

  Definitely. This is something that keeps me going when I have some stressful or difficult days in the lab. Knowing that my research is helping people every day and that all of the hard work is worthwhile.

  Yes, I love knowing that what I do will make a difference in someone’s life

  Oh yes. I changed my research area when I moved back to the UK, and it’s great seeing immediate applications of what I do in improving safety.
  It’s important to do the really fundamental research too though, that which might not look like it has much importance to people right now, as that’s where the big future advances come from.

  My current work also doesn’t save people directly, but it helps researchers get the information needed to help people. This is very fulfilling!

  Yes, as a Microbiologist I ensure the the bathing waters in Scotland are safe for people to use. Also , my experiments on antimicrobial resistance can lead to information which gives better treatment options for infectious disease.

  So far I don’t think I’ve saved anyone in my work, but I hope that work I do makes things better for people in the long run.
