My whole team has over 45 people working together. The main thing keeping is all linked together is a new medical device, a camera on the end of a thing fibre that can look inside people’s lungs. The team is made up of all different kinds of scientists: biologists like me, but physicists, chemists, engineers, medical doctors, computer programmers. It means we all get to learn more about different sciences and work together on entirely new things. For example, at the moment I’m working with one of the physicists to build a camera that will be able to see white blood cells better.

Well there are about 300 people in my building, sharing lab and office space. My supervisor has 6 others, and we share a lab with 4 other supervisors with 1-4 students and staff working with them. We all work pretty closely on stuff to do with reproductive medicine so egg cells, embryos, ovaries, uterus, sperm and placenta. We all share certain bits of equipment with the rest of the people in the building, even though we work on sometimes very different things! We also work with colleagues across different Universities. Beyond that, I think everyone in science is working together to build on our knowledge across the world, and scientists work with the public and politicians to raise awareness of science, make decisions on new advances and invest funding where we need it!
