      That I get to work with some really innovative scientists on some pretty cool projects, knowing that if our hypothesis is correct, we could be making a big difference to patients who are suffering from different ailments. That is the most interesting part of my job!

      The most interesting part of my job is that I get to use computer models that can reconstruct the Earth back through time in a second! So if you want to see what England looked like at the time of the dinosaurs, you just click a button that says ’70 million years’ and HEY PRESTO! You can see how the tectonic plates were arranged, where the beaches and coastlines were, where the mountains were- this information has been built from thousands of ‘man-hours’ of scientists carrying out research. It’s an incredible tool 🙂
