      Hi Matteo,

      It depends a lot really. The daily life can be very different depending on your discipline (I think physics and mathematicians spend more time on computers than us for examples). For me I really like working in the lab and making experiments, I like using microscopes and growing cells. We also have days where we have to read a lot (I always try to mix them with lab work because it is more fun) or days where we write about our project. We also go to many conferences and meetings to know what people all over the world are doing in projects similar to ours. The good thing is that everyday is quite different you don’t get bored.
