      Some days it’s easy, other days it’s hard – just the same in any other job I think. When experiments go as expected it’s a doddle, but when they don’t it takes more work to figure out why – but that’s all part of the fun and that’s how more information is generated! I rarely get headaches!

      Well, being a scientist is hard and easy. It required a lot of patience!!! Yes, sometimes I do get a headache when I am not able to understand a particular concept. But it’s also a lot of fun, you get to find out cool stuff which other don’t know about 🙂

      Both, but what’s important is that it’s challenging. Being challenged on a daily basis makes work much more interesting, I’d go as far to say it’s almost like a lifestyle, not just a job. I think that applies to other professions as well, such as teachers, doctors, police, its more something you are than something you do.
