Question: Does the money you earn from working at the lab pay for your normal life?

Damian Bailey answered on 17 Jun 2013:

Yes, it surely does! Working at the lab is almost a hobby for me in that it’s great fun. What a way to earn money by having a laugh! Scientists, just like teachers, have a salary and the amount they earn depends on how important their position is in the University, for example. My life has become a bit more expensive thanks to a 15 month old son; so every penny counts right now!
