My Typical Day
Being a bioinformatician, I have a flexible routine. My day starts with a cup of tea and breakfast. My work start at around 9:30 in the morning and last until 5:30 in the evening. After dinner, I read couple of good research reports/ work from other scientist to get updated with the current science in my field.
