I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
As a scientist, I have to spend a lot of time writing papers and answering emails. I find the writing part of my job less enjoyable than the prac parts in the lab!
Also, we have a lab dish washer that washed the glass we use in the lab and I don’t like packing and unpacking that (I don’t like doing it at home either!)

I don’t like when people think that they’re better than others.
Unfortunately, some people don’t grow out of this phase and are not so nice to talk/ work with.
But you get people like this everywhere, so I deal with it.
Oh yeah, and writing sucks!

Hi Jackie,
I think the only thing I don’t like about my job is that I don’t have enough time to do everything. I take care to plan each day’s responsibilities – ordering, preparing for experiments, running experiments, helping students, following up on requests, etc that the day ends and I feel as if I haven’t achieved much. In truth, research is very demanding and is also rewarding if you put the effort into it but it’s difficult to accomplish everything you set out to do- because you find there are always many more things that need to be done!

I don’t like writing grants and not getting them. It’s very very depressing!!!!

As much as I like mice, I spend a lot of time with them & not with people. At the end of the day my friends are often faced with an onslaught of conversation. I get a bit lonely.
