Question: Have you ever regretted becoming a scientists befor?

Nope. Sometimes when I’m analysing data and have to use statistics I wonder whether I can find more scientists to help me, but I don’t regret being a scientist!

Even when the going gets tough, when you are stuck on excavation and there is almost nothing on the site besides the rain pouring in, it is still great fun, because there are still questions to ask: why is there nothing here? What happened on this site that led to it being so clean? And if all else fails, you can turn to the person next to you and try to write in mud on the back of their hi-vis jacket without them noticing! 😉
