      That is assuming I had goals in the first place! I have never really been one to set career goals for myself, I have generally just followed a path that I enjoy and have been lucky enough to be able to do so.

      My life goals are pretty simple though – enjoy life (✓). As long as that box is always checked I am happy.

      I haven’t yet achieved all my goals, but by being a scientist I have achieved a lot of them, and I’m in the right place to try to achieve the rest. But I think I’ll always have a few goals just out of reach otherwise there’s nothing to strive to achieve.

      I don’t have any goals, so can’t answer the question!

      I’m happy being a scientist and that’s enough for me 🙂

      hmmm, I’m not really sure what my goals are, I just want to be able to look back and say I did the best I could and enjoyed myself. I don’t think I’ve done too badly so far, but I definitely hope to achieve lots more, I’ve still got lots of years working away ahead of me!
