      Mostly ‘Yes’, however it is very expensive to do science and for this reason we always have to ask governments or other agencies for research money. We 0 the scientists – have to do this through so called Research Applications that get judged by panels of experts. If they like the proposal you get some of the money you asked for and can work for a few years, then you have to do it all over again and ask for more money. This can be a little bit exhausting, but it is also very rewarding at the same time. So all-in-all I like my job as a scientist a lot!
