      I don’t analyse anything in the traditional sense of the word as I don’t work in a lab. However, I do analyse trend data for chemical incidents and report that into the government

      I particularly like analysing the minerals in my meteorites and finding out what elements are in them, and whether they match what we expect. I often get distracted by cool or weird looking minerals in my samples! There’s a mineral called magnetite which can sometimes be all bubbly looking and look like a raspberry, we call this framboidal. I also found one once that looked a bit like a Christmas bauble shape
