  My day consists of many different parts. During teaching term, I am teaching, preparing class, marking and doing research.
  Research involves reading other peoples work, running experiments, analysing data, writing up the experiments, applying for funding to run more experiments and meeting students to help them with their research.

  Lots of things, and every day is different. My day might include any or all of the following: doing labwork, planning or doing experiments, tidying up the lab (!), lecturing, going in the field, talking to the media, doing work with kids or adult members of the public, giving talks or seminars, travelling to study fossils in museum collections, helping our undergraduate students with their thesis work, helping my PhD students and postdocs with analyses, writing, or data interpretation, writing papers, applying for research grants, doing paperwork (e.g. risk assessments!), and answering emails. Phew!
