Most of the making is in the lab at a bench, which I guess is a bit similar to a desk but it is higher up, so I don’t have to bend down when standing.

Whenever I am making something I do it in the lab. The time I spend at my desk is normally analysing data or writing.

I work at a desk most of the time when designing and analysing things, but I work in a workshop when I am making things.

Elles commented on :
What do you mean by making, and do you have to wear goggle, a lab coat etc??
Valerie commented on :
Hi Elles,
When I am for example preparing a sample, this involves growing cells. I would have to wear a lab coat and gloves. And work in what’s called a “hood”, it is this box with a window where I can put my arms through. This makes sure that no germs come in contact with the cells .
Carmel commented on :
depends. If i am working with electronics or optics I generally dont wear a lab coat or goggles but when I am working with biology I have to wear both and gloves.
If I am working in the clean room in physics I have to wear a complete hazmat suit (a whole suit and hat and shoes) because no outside dust or anything can be in there.
