That’s an interesting question. I guess as a student (before I started my job) in didn’t see many aspects of the job that irritate me today. I also said that I would never get involved in “academic politics” that is the games lecturers and professors plays to try and prove who is best! To be honest, we all end up doing that! It’s part of the job!

No one prepared me for the administration part of my work and the paperwork that is required sometimes. I think my advisors and supervisors did a good job to show me the good and the bad aspects of the job before I started

When I started my job I thought My research will make me famous very fast and I should get a nobel prize in chemistry (as I was a young scientist at that time). Now I think research is much more serious thing and needs hard work and dedication. So many scientists across the world are working so hard to find something new and interesting. We should all help each other and make a collaborative research where WE is better than I.

When I first started my job I was so nervous! I didn’t feel like I was good enough to be here, now, having been in this role for 2 and a half years I feel a lot more confident in my abilities. I think as time has gone on a lot of aspects have become easier – you get into a rhythm in the lab – but there are always new and interesting opportunities to take on and new things to learn!
