Question: How stressful do you believe your job is?

Like any job you have deadlines which can be a source of pressure or bad days in the lab can be stressful. What is nice about research science is that you do get some control over your workload. This means that if you’re not feeling up to it, you can lower the pressure on yourself for a day or two.
