      Hi 759cmte45, 436cmte45 & 725cmte45,

      I really like working on the computer ? which is great, because I get to do that all day! My favourite part is probably when my computer simulations have finished and I can make a map of the world to show what my results look like ?

      That’s really cool, Cat! It must be great to see the map at the end of the day.

      My favourite part of my job is being in my lab making new chemicals. Sometimes I make something that no one else in the world has ever made before – that’s a really cool feeling! I work with chemicals I get from orange peel and pine trees – they’re chemicals called terpenes. I’m trying to make new materials like plastics from my terpenes so all my work smells like oranges or pine trees, it’s great!
