Q: What advice would you give to science students considering a career in research? Trinity College Dublin Alumni
A: “If you like a monotonous job then science is not for you. It’s different every day and I love the variety of it. You’re inventing the future definition of things. Science projects are usually new and you can’t just Google to find an answer. It’s a tough area, and if you are not a 100% committed it’s a very competitive and hard area to develop in. However, if you are committed and good at what you do it’s a great ride.”
