My work pattern is very variable. I can be lecturing to a group of health professional students, or teaching them important practical skills like CPR and defibrillation. I can be conducting experimental research, writing up the results of my experiments and presenting them at conferences to colleagues.
I really enjoy the variation in work pattern.
