      Beyond drinking coffee, I would say it is working with my collegues to solve problems. I love it when we make a breakthrough and find that we have solved a problem we have been working on for a long time

      As a scientist every day is a different day with new challenges, and you can learn new things with every experiment that you perform

      My work involves teaching, research and administration. I equally love the teaching and the administration. I love finding new up to date newspaper articles related to my work and then bringing that to my students. it shows them that our work is current. For example, just this year we had the scandal of the patients in France dying while on a clinical trial. I can show my students what went wrong and how we can do it better the next time. Much of my research is on the methodology of clinical trials and that is about how to improve how we design a clinical trial and how to improve how we conduct it.

      I’d have to say the variety – no two days are ever the same – keeps things interesting, while continuously learning new things (every day is a school day!) keeps the work enjoyable.

      Also echo Diarmuid – coffee breaks with my friends!
