      Hmm ,, must first emphasize that its my career I intend to spend on it, and my lifetime dedicated to improving myself as a human, and improving things for my family, and then for all others I can reach.

      I intend to spend 50% of my career on research, and 50% as a doctor helping cancer patients. Why? I think it is essential to keep moving forward in medicine, like elsewhere, and that is only possible through research. And of course, I must keep practising as a doctor as well, so I may remember who I am doing research for.

      I think my work can be extremely varied and interesting, so could quite possibly be what I always do. But I wouldn’t sign my life away just yet! I think I have skills that give me a lot of freedom to change what I’m doing if one day I fancy something new 🙂

      I like to do as much as I possibly can and try a bit of everything. So I think while I could spend my life doing it I would want to branch out too.

      I think I would definitely need to try different projects so I wouldn’t just stick on my current project, but I will almost certainly spend my lifetime in science- I love doing it and I get paid to do it too! I’m not about to throw that away!

      I intend to spend my entire lifetime on scientific research and teaching. Why? Because it is what I love to do.
