      Yes, it’s rewarding to solve problems but also then see the products I’ve worked on out in the world.

      I love my job – but it’s stressful at times. But it’s really fun inventing daily, and constantly having to problem solve. And all with a real purpose.

      Absolutely. I sometimes say that if this wasn’t my job, I’d be doing something like this as a hobby!

      Of course, and I’m lucky that I get to do something that I genuinely enjoy each day. Like every job it can have its difficult times, but the sense of achievement when, for example, you close off a project makes those difficult times worthwhile.

      Yes I love it! An underestimated part of being a scientist is being creative to solve problems which is really exciting. I am currently working on making greener plastics (not just changing their colour!) which feels very rewarding and will hopefully make a difference in the real world

      Definitely! I have a lot of freedom and flexibility to scope out what I want to research and develop myself as an expert in a topic that interests me and I feel has an important purpose. I get to challenge myself everyday.
