      The best bits:

      Learning new exciting things…
      Knowing you’re contributing to human knowledge…
      Getting to play detective…

      The worst bits:

      When experiments fail…
      Long and sometimes unpredictable hours…
      Time, financial and political pressures that can often affect the science you do…

      Finding things out, explaining my work to all kinds of people, or that feeling when something finally works are definitely the best bits. Early mornings, things going wrong for no obvious reason and paperwork have to be the worst!
