My Typical Day:
i wake up, answer questions from the array of small children standing over me (‘who was the first person to be born?’ ‘Why don’t lizards have cars?’) then go to work, potter around on the internet reading about research, try and write a paper, lecture to undergraduates, try and fix a broken gadget in the lab and fail, come home and answer more questions.
