      In my first science job after university, I did almost lose my job because they were making people redundant! One of the first things I did was look to see what other jobs were around me in science, because there are lots of companies that do science nowadays. I was lucky to get offered a new job fairly quickly, which has led me to where I am today.

      If I hadn’t been able to find a job in lab science, I think I might have gone back to university to do a Masters, maybe in bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is, in short, using computers to process the large amounts of biological information and data that we have available to us now.

      Sell all my stuff, buy a camper van and travel the world!

      And then probably have to come back and find another job when I ran out of funds… Almost certainly back to science in some way.

      I would either retrain to become a makeup artist or pastry chef
