      The favourite thing about my job is to be paid to wonder, experiment and hopefully solve problems that are of great importance to society!

      I have a lot of freedom about the things that I can research… which means that I ask questions and work in areas that really interest and matter to me. I want my research to make a difference to people and to wildlife! I also get to teach the next generation of scientists and I hope that they will go on to do amazing things.

      Mine is writing new software, which involves lots of programming! I love programming/coding, it really makes me think hard and keeps me stimulated.

      I like the freedom to organise my own time to fit around all the questons that I am trying to answer. As I learn new things I can change what I am doing to improve the trails and get better results that will eventually help more people.

      I like seeing the results and people enjoying their new found freedom now they can cycle instead of being stuck in a car.
