  Hmm, both! It is my day to day job to do science through research, but I perform my own little experiments in my spare time as well – and anything can be an experiment, even something small like what happens if I add water instead of milk to my porridge!

  Well for me it is a mix of both. When I start with something new, it seems like a hobby because it is exciting. After a while, when things are running smoothly/so smoothly, I treat it as a job which runs from 9 am-5 pm.
