      Not really, there’s so many different things to do that each day’s different from the last. Although it can be hard work, and it’s nice to go on holiday sometimes!

      I wouldn’t say boring. Sometimes it can get frustrating, like when I come across a problem that I can’t solve. Usually when that happens I look at some other problem for a while, and when I go back to the original one, the solution become clear.

      hello, sometimes it does, just like in any other job, or sometimes when you get bored at school. Most of the time it’s pretty interesting and I am lucky in that if I am doing something boring, I know that because my job is so varied, I will get to do something else quite soon!

      Nope – I love it! Every day I learn something new… and the great thing about my job is you get to see what drugs are going to make a difference in people’s lives before they come on the market – I love that, it’s cool: it’s a really positive job. No matter how many horrid diseases are out there, you can see that there are drugs in clinical trials that are really going to make a difference once they go on sale…that’s never boring!

      Never! But it is hard work sometimes and you have to be patient when it takes a long time to turn your ideas into something that really works.
