Favourite Thing: Get something tricky to finally work! It makes all the blood sweat and tears (lots of tears!) worth it in the end.

What I do: My research involves trying to freeze whole ovaries and see if they will still work after they have thawed.

Favourite Thing: Go to conferences and present my data to an international audience of experts. This means visiting really exciting places and making friends all over the world.

What I do: I study the placenta: the thing that feeds the baby in the womb. I find out how it takes food from the mums blood to the baby’s blood so the baby grows properly.

Favourite Thing: Getting a load of dull numbers and then with a few clicks of the mouse turning them into graphs that explain what’s happening or maps that show where the people are who are likely to need a particular treatment. My favourite thing outside science is obviously much more interesting than this.

What I do: I work for the NHS on specialised services. These are services that aren’t in every hospital ,for example, brain surgery, kidney transplants, intensive care for children and babies, open heart surgery and rare cancers. IVF was one of these services until last month. I did a lot of work on IVF and was part of an Expert Advisory Group for the Department of Health.
