      Yes, or else we wouldn’t do it! There’s always something new to look into, you can more or less choose what you want to work on. You travel around the world going to conferences, where you get to me lots of different people with different ideas.

      yes, it is very enjoyable and fun. We get to do very cool experiments with fancy machines, and in normal times we get to travel a lot and do experiments in other countries with other scientists

      Yes! I really like what I do. It can be challenging and doesn’t always go to plan, but that’s part of the reason I like it. I think if you are in the right job you should be enjoying yourself!

      Yes! I really like learning new things about our planet! I get to explore new places and try to understand the environment there, which can sometimes be a challenge, but is also really interesting and fun. You get to work with lots of cool people too!
