      I make sure to keep experiments during the week as much as possible! Occasionally working with cells means this can be hard, because they don’t stop growing at the weekend…

      Other things I do are to keep emails and admin as tasks I only do at work, and try not to touch them when I’m at home

    I have two small children (aged 5 and 1) so I need to work around childcare hours. This gives an enforced work-life balance, but I am loving having the excuse to pack up and leave at 5. I sometimes need to catch up with things in the evening or at the weekend, but only if I’ve used some of the flexibility to go to school plays or things.
