Loads! I do different things nearly every day! From working in my lab buiding new devices, to working at my desk with computer programs. Some days I teach university students. I often go abroad to places like Canada, Europe and Japan to do experiments!

Many scientists don’t have a typical day – but each of us have written what our ‘days’ are like in our profiles so take a look.
I spend a lot of my day at my desk on my computer, but some days I’m out travelling to meetings or conferences to present and share my work. Other days I’m in the control room of an experiment that I help with (a new particle accelerator), again mostly running the experiment via computers (the ‘big red button’ is still on the wall though!). I tend to start work at about 8.30 in the morning and work until about 5pm or a bit later.
After that, I try to go to the gym, eat some dinner, watch some TV or read a book or go out and meet up with friends.

I mostly sit around and play on the computer and go on facebook and youtube and answer questions from you guys! 😉
The great thing about being a scientist is that there are no ‘typical’ days so each day is different. I write computer programs to help analyse my data, write papers, give talks, go to meetings, chat to other scientists, visit schools, sometimes go abroad for conferences….all kinds of different things!
