  Hi Scarlett,
  
  This is a hard one for me to decide on. I think I like doing practical experiments a little bit more than working on the computer, but I usually need to use a computer to understand the data that I get in from the practical experiments. I really like being able to use both, but I think I would be less happy if I only worked on the computer and didn’t do any experiments in the lab because experiments can tell you a lot about what is going.
