      I don’t own any labs! I do work in one though. It is in central London, near the Thames.

      I don’t own any labs. I work in a lab that’s called the Institute for Cancer Research, which is partly funded by the government, and partly by money from charities. I don’t think I’ll ever be anywhere near rich enough to own a lab, unless I win the lottery!

      Hi. I work in an office in Oxford – there is a lab in the same building, but I don’t go in there.

      You can see a picture of my desk on my profile if you like – I added it this afternoon.

      In my research team, we only have a couple of labs that we can use to do our research. We were going to have a new set of labs built, but then the economy took a down turn and… you know the rest. So now we just have a lovely patch of grass, where they covered up the foundations of the new building!

      erm…the closest thing to a lab that I own, it’s the kitchen! Labs are so expensive, that only institutes or Universities own them. Not even our bosses own the lab that they supervise. We put our brain, the Institutes put the money!
