Question: On a scale of one to ten (10 being the best and 1 the worst) how exciting is your job?

There are long periods of not very interesting stuff happening, like mixing solutions and depositing it – Id say thats around a 4, as its the same thing every time.

Collecting data or using the electron microscope is around a 7, as you’re producing something new.

My favourite moment is testing cells, because there’s always the possibility that the next one could be the best efficiency Ive produced so far!
