      I think every job can be stressful at times and being a scientist is no different! Scientists have deadlines and talk about their work in front of lots of people and this can be stressful. I think that because what we do can make such a difference to peoples lives, a bit of stress is a small price to pay 🙂

      p.s. it’s normally really relaxed and fun too so this makes you forget any stress!

      It can be at times. When i am in the hospital it can very busy and when people are sick this can be stressful. But we work together as part of a big team and this makes it a lot easier! It is like having your friends around when you are really stressed. There is always someone that will be able to make you laugh or relax you. It is definitely worth the stress.
