      do you mean the research project or Im a scientist.

      i think i can only answer one so ill answer either way now hehe. my research project has one other girl doing the same kind of work (almost identical now, but it splits later), there are around ten all working on polymers (plastics) so theres generally people around who know the materials and the equipment.

      Im the only one from my research group doing Im a scientist, and i had a nosey at the other scis, and i know there are some from manchester but none from my department. i hope that answered the question, but if you meant something else, let me know 🙂

      I’ll be doing my PhD project on my own, but with some help from my supervisors and some of the other people in my lab. Ultimately I can decide what I do and when I do it, but I always run it by other people to make sure that they think I’m on the right tracks.

      I’m doing I’m a Scientist on my own, but everyone in my office today was very intrigued by what I was up to, especially when I ended up staying late to finish answering questions! I think they thought I’d gone mad!
