      hi robynmae,
      No, I don’t experiment on mice and rats, only on humans. I did read about the experiment that they grew the ear on the mouse and it was a really impressive experiment. I don’t personally develop implants, I am concentrating on making stem cells.
      As for a scientific job to pick, it depends on what you are interested in. I was not really sure i wanted to work in a lab until I had tried it out, so I would advise to try and get some work experience. If you are interested in biology, then you should try this website http://www.stepintothenhs.nhs.uk/
      it has loads of career ideas for professions in healthcare
      bye! Sharon
