I enjoy working with other people with different science knowledge to solve problems and find answered to our research. It’s creative and collaborative. We also use exciting technologies to do it!

I enjoy the sense of pursuit and investigation in my work. Digging really deep into the problem at hand, looking at it from different angles, noticing something new or something that does not match my ideas about it.

I really enjoy the challenge of solving complicated problems, the variation in the work and getting to go to interesting places

I love that I’m able to discover new things and work with others who also love what they do! I also love that each day is so different, so it never gets boring 🙂

Working with people from different background. This could be different countries or different fields (STEM and non-STEM like economists!). Work is never boring, because there is so much to learn.

I like being able to plan my own time and plan what experiments I do. If I have some cool, mad ideas to try and make something work, then I usually try it! The best thing is when when one of those crazy ideas work!

I get to decide what work I do each day, and there is variety to the work I do. I also like that I have flexible hours so I can start early in the morning and finish earlier

The variety. And the fact that what I do has generally never been done before… ever! That is pretty satisfying 😏

The variety of having lots of different tasks to solve – and many different ways to solve them! Testing out different ideas to see what works best, and knowing you’ve made a difference in the world, no matter how small it might seem at the time.

The thing I like most about my job is the variety! It’s not that I get bored easily, but I thrive on having multiple things going on at once and flipping between them, or doing one for a bit and then switching to something else. In science, I might be doing experiments at the laboratory bench, making solutions and chemicals, working with animals, carrying out tests, gathering results, analysing them, drawing graphs, reading scientific papers about similar areas of research, presenting my results at conferences, giving presentations, making posters (yes, really! We often display our findings as posters and talk about our science!), writing reports and articles about what we are seeing and what we think is going on – a bit like writing up your experiments at school. I might also be training other people to do some of the things I do, as well as teaching about the science.

I really enjoy getting to dig into what someone wants, and understand things from their perspective, before getting to bring that back in to what I give them. It can be really rewarding and fun to show someone not the answer they asked for but instead the answer they actually need!

The ability to answer some science questions and also understand why certain observations are made.

I love the creativity of it. We have to work as a team to solve problems for clients, so it’s great when it comes together.
