Hmmm I don’t really like doing a lot of analysis of data. Data analysis is very popular. Now that we have super powerful computers we can analyse huge sets of data. This is very useful but I find it a bit boring because there are not many equations involved and it’s hard to make sense of data without making too many assumptions.
Sort of! It actually takes a lot of time to write a computer program and make sure that it works properly! A lot of time I try to make sure the computer program works correctly! But yes, sometimes I have to just give the computer time to solve my equations and work on something else for a bit, for example write reports about what I found or read about other people’s work.
@Niela, kind of yes! And sometimes it’s like waiting for your pizza for 3 hours and then when it shows up you realise it has the wrong toppings and you have to order again!

ok. so you do more practical work and you let the computers do the solving of the equations and things like that?
