My Work:
I work in a research lab at a university where I use genetics and computer science to understand how different plants make different organs like leaves, flowers, or branches.

My Typical Day:
I usually get to work at 9 am, have lunch at around 12, and then go home between 5 and 6pm. My work days are never the same, which I enjoy.
Some days I spend most of my time teaching university students about genetics and plant science, in lecture theatres or in the lab, marking coursework and answering questions.
Some other days I go to the lab to train my research students, help them plan experiments and discuss their results. These are my favourite days!
I also spend days writing about the results from the lab so that other scientists can read about them, and meet with other scientists to share our latest findings.
