      It really varies on what I’m working on and how it’s going. Work life is pretty flexible, so sometimes I choose to come in later and work into the evenings or at the weekends a bit. But mostly I keep roughly normal working hours. The other good thing is I can basically work wherever I have internet access, so I don’t always have to come into an office or lab to get stuff done.

      Sometimes, but like Martin I keep normal hours most of the time. I only really do stuff at night or weekends when I have tonnes to do or if there’s a deadline, which happens every few months or so. I’m answering your question right now on a Saturday morning, but I don’t mind cos it’s interesting!

      I wouldn’t say that i do it often, but sometimes it is necessary to meet a particular deadline, or finally finish off an important piece of work. I try very hard to keep to usual working hours/week, so that I have plenty of time to relax and have a normal life having fun with my friends. 🙂
