      I am a scientist 24/7! But no, really I spend time in the lab/hospital 5 days a week (mon-fri) and only occasionally go in during weekends if there is an important experiment to set up. Most days I try to be in 9.30-5.30, but that also depends on experiments.

      24/7! Being a scientist isnt just about your job, its abiout how you view the world, that you also have a healthy does of skeptisism (SP?) and you question everything! Be careful not to be a cynic though! Follow the evidence and ignore anecdotes that have no empirical evidence behind them 😉
