      Hey!

      Probably only one thing, and that’s moving my lab and my office next to each other! At the moment they are in different buildings, about a five minute walk away. In the summer this is great and it’s a really nice walk. In the winter however, or whenever it’s raining and I’ve forgotten my umbrella (which I do all the time), I get absolutely soaked walking from one to the other!

      Hi priyab,

      Nice question… I’ve had to really think about this one!

      If I had to change one thing then I would probably get a machine that does my washing up for me. All of the glassware and bottles that I use for my experiments have to squeaky clean, which takes me quite a while sometimes!

      It isn’t too bad if you have some good music on in the background, but it’s definitely something I could live without!

      Great question priyab!

      Thats quite tough to answer! I think I would like to be working more with other people if I could change one thing….currently I do work with other people but we are all doing different projects – it would be great fun to be on a team all working on one project together. This is something that often happens and I will try to do for my next job I think……it can sometimes be a challenge being the only person who really knows about what I’m doing, especially when things are difficult to understand and results dont make sense.
