      Thank you for your question. I will say that there is not one aspect of the job which makes it enjoyable but the combination of parts (see below).

      I enjoy that everyday is very different and most experiments are interesting because we don’t know the outcome.

      Lab work is very tangible, e.g. working with your hands, making things. In some ways this is comparable to art/cooking/baking

      I can plan my own schedule every week, this is much more flexible than other workplaces.

      I’m still classed as a student! So essentially PhDs are given four years and a bit of money for the purpose of learning new things

      A lot of time is spent training and supervising younger students, which is very people-focused, something that I enjoy.
