      I’ve been doing particle physics for 2 years. Particle physics means studying the tiniest building blocks in the universe…I love it! Before that it took 3 years of studying physics at university.

      I’ve been an engineer for just over a year, before I started my job I was training to be a physicist!

      I’ve been working as a bioinformatician for 1 year (but I did 3 years training before that).

      I’ve been studying chemistry for 3 years, before that I was studying for a Master’s degree in chemistry… so really it’s closer to 7 years!

      I’m still a PhD student so i’m not done quite yet!
      However during my PhD I have done 3 different research topics where I have been able to contribute knowledge to the field of white dwarfs (dead stars).
      I did a degree in astrophysics which was 3 years and a one year masters before starting my PhD. I’m at the very end of my PhD now where I write up everything i’ve done into a big book called a thesis at which point I will have been studying astrophysics for 7.5 years:)
