      When we ‘do science’, it is incredibly mixed: rather than doing one major thing, we in fact do many small ones every day. Research in a field like mine (theoretical, using computational modelling and mathematical analysis) is a wonderful combination of pen-and-paper calculations; writing computer programmes and codes; reading books and papers; staring at graphs, trying to understand what they show; and writing papers.
