There are many career oppurtunities availble to people with scientific training. But it is often difficult finding out about these roles, especially if you are currently in an academic environment. So here we present ‘a day in the life’, a series of interviews with people with scientific backgrounds who are lab-based or have moved away from the bench (click on the tittle to access; more interviews will be added as they become available).
