      Problem solving, team working and communication are the three key skills that I use everyday.

      I cant argue with Christine on that, all fundamental skills.

      It is worth saying that people naturally have strengths in different area’s so don’t be disheartened if you cant see a certain strength in yourself. Everyone is different and training can be invaluable!

      Definitely problem-solving as Christine said.
      Curiosity is also a good skill to have – always asking why and how things work, especially in research labs!
