      I think it’s discussing my results and what they might mean with other scientists! I work very hard to get my results, so it’s great when I finally have them and can think about what they might mean for the universe 🙂

      The satisfaction you get when something new you tried works out, and gives a beautiful result is priceless!

      My favourite experiment is what my profile says: making baby fishes glow! It’s a really cool technique that I’ve explained on someone else’s question. Other than that I love giving presentations about my work and getting all sorts of interesting questions at the end that make me really think about my work 🙂

      My favourite thing to do as a scientist is to hear other scientists talk about their work and their discoveries. We live in such an amazing world and there are so many scientists out there doing great work, I want to hear about all of it!
