      The amount of freedom I have in choosing what I want to focus on. Of course we all need to do certain things, teaching, writing reports, etc. But overall, I get to decide when I work (as long as the work is done, noone minds), whether I spend all day in the lab or reading about a new method, and how I do things.

      There are so many great things about being a Scientist.
      You get to travel to tell people about your work,perform exciting experiemnts in the lab, you learn so many new things, interact with other scientist, use various equipment in the lab and so many others things.

      What I like the most is the dept of knowledge gained.

    I really enjoy working with patients. In particular as a scientist I really enjoy having to look at the information we can get from patients and work out how we can use it to help that person. Putting pieces of a puzzle together to help doctors get closer to an answer of what might be going on.

    May favourite thing about doing science is finding out new stuff than no-one else knows with my research group and communicating that to other people… scientists, the public… I also enjoy training the next generation of scientisits.
