      I think the best bit about experiments is when they work as they often don’t, and then seeing the results and what they are telling you. I think it quite exciting to get new data, as you can find out what your experiment has actually told you.

      I’ve helped lots of friends with their research over the years, and one of my favorite times was helping a friend to catch wallabies on an island off the coast of western Australia – we caught them in traps that looked a lot like a laundry basket with muesli in it! It doesn’t hurt them as it is made of soft material and is just a box for them to sit in. One time we caught a mother wallaby with a baby in her pouch which was very special.

      The best part is when I’m working with the zebrafish in the aquarium. They swim really fast and it’s difficult to catch them with the net, and sometimes, they suddenly jump in the tank and I have to be very careful to avoid them falling out of the water.
