The first time I set foot in a laboratory was during an interview for my first job in science. At the time I was working in retail management, studying biology with the Open University in my spare time but with no practical experience or useful qualifications to show for it. I wasn’t the usual biological technician applicant but I was full of enthusiasm, a desire to learn and, as it turned out, I had a steady hand. I was invited back for a second interview and, much to my surprise and delight, I was offered the job. It was a life-changing day for me and set me on an exciting career path.
