Question: have you ever thought of giving up and trying something else?

Yes! Even if I love Science, it’s a very difficult career to pursue. For example, I only have one year left on this contract and then I have to look for another job. I’m thinking to leave research, but I don’t know if there is a job that I would like as much as science 🙁
