My Typical Day:
I normally start the day by checking my emails in the morning. I will then start working on my projects, which normally take a long time to complete (6 months to 2 years). The projects are normally literature reviews of lots of interesting science issues (climate change in my case) – writing these involves reading lots of scientific papers and condensing them for a non-scientific audience. I also talk to experts in the relevant fields to get resources and feedback on my work to make sure it’s scientifically accurate.
