Question: How is your life as a scientist?

Robert Ives answered on 20 Jun 2019:

My life as a scientist has been very enjoyable and rewarding so far. It isn’t an easy career and you need to continually learn new stuff in order to keep up with everyone else – science moves forward very quickly. This helps to keep you interested in the work you are doing and although great discoveries don’t happen every day, when they do happen, it is an amazing feeling, one which not many other careers can offer.
