I'm currently solving this problem:
My main way to approaching anything (in work life and home life!) is to make lists! I deal (electronically) will huge numbers of samples and find keeping detailed records of everything is my best way to remember what I need to do.

I'm currently working on these species doing this:
My department process whatever species are sent to us from the other labs and so are not involved in choosing what species are being worked on. I always like it when I recognise the name of the species we are working on though, as a keen gardener, I get excited when I see a plant name I recognise! I also enjoy looking up some of the species names we get on the internet to see what the actual organism looks like.

My Interview
-
What or who inspired you to follow your career?
I was originally interested in biology because of a love of animals and then when I started studying smaller and smaller things, I realised that DNA is pretty cool too!
If you weren't doing this job, what would you choose instead?
I’d want to be involved in science communication or access to science careers for women, I’m really passionate about that.
