      Hi,

      Thanks for such a thought provoking question! I’ve just been sat on my lunch break trying to thing about what to choose.

      For me, I love the problem solving. I love taking a research question and designing an experiment to answer it. My favourite part of a research study is when all the data is coming in and you can start to see what the answer may be. I also work with patients sometimes and I love the investigation on that side too, so trying to work out why they aren’t sleeping or why they feel tired during the day, for example is it too much coffee, or are they sleep walking?

      Hi llawrence,
      Well, I think the most favourite part of my research is when I reach to an answer after long period of time thinking and searching about it. That’s moment when you find an answer for your question is incredible. One day I was looking for an answer on why people feel sleepy after lunch, is it because of the lunch itself or because of something else? Until I find out that our brain is “programmed” to dip in the afternoon, not because of the lunch we eat. That moment was a bit of a shock when I knew about it. I like these moments in the science, and they occurred occasionally.

      I like looking under the microscope! it’s so cool when you see proteins express in different colours~
