      Of course! Scientists are just like other people and want to make friends too!

      Oh yes! Science is all about team work and collaboration – you get to meet lots of people by doing science and they’re usually very, very, interesting.

      Definitely! This is especially nice as I work with colleagues from many different countries, so they are a very mixed bunch. They also range from people as old as me to young students. It is great to keep contact over many years, seeing how their careers develop – sometimes in science and sometimes not.

      Yes, this doesn’t depend on science.
