      I enjoy my work and form time to time I have worked ‘crazy hours’ but only because I wanted to or really needed to get something done. More typically, I am at me desk between 7 and 8am and I leave between 4:45pm and 5:30pm. I have a family life and interests and hobbies outside of my core work

      I usually work from 8 am to around 5 pm. Some days are longer and some are shorter. It’s important to balance work with life outside. A person can only work so much until they burn out from overwork. Keeping healthy outside of the job makes a person better and more productive in their job while working fewer hours!

      Only sometimes! I balance it out though so I can have a life outside of work. Luckily as a scientist in academia I am able to build my own work week around my experiments.
