      Hi ilusion,

      The quick answer is YES! I love my work 🙂
      I enjoy each part of my work differently. For example, writing allows me to tidy up my thoughts and logics, designing new experiments allows me to increase my creativity, collecting data allows me to interact with animals and get in touch with nature, to name a few.

      Hi ilusion,

      I consider myself very lucky. In my work, I currently integrate many of the latest advances in psychology, neuroscience and brain imaging as well as technology, and I feel extremely lucky to have worked with people who introduced me to this type of research. But I also feel I’m only at the beginning of a very exciting road – from studying things with all those tools, to changing such areas as education and rehabiliation of different brain disorders in children. I absolutely love what I’m doing even if work like this is very complex and require finding common ground with many different experts!

      Hi ilusion100, yes I love finding out about new things, problem solving and communicating about science. I think all the scientists in the memory zone are on the same page when we say we are lucky to be able to do this 🙂

      Without an absolute doubt- YES! I really really like my work. I think, for any scientist, because we have to dedicate everything to such specific areas of study that it simply wouldn’t be possible to do the job if you didn’t like your work. Because it absolutely takes over your life! And I don’t mean that as in you’re always working. It’s more likely you find yourself talking about it a lot or reading about it or thinking about it! So if it’s gonna consume your life you have to like it!
