      For me, I find the most interesting part of my job is talking to people about my research (which is why I’m on here!) it is always good to get different opinions on what you do, and sometimes those can make you think about an issue from a completely different perspective. I once had a conversation with a young person who complained that teenagers always get a bad name by adults and the media, when actually a lot of adults had been teenagers themselves and learned from their mistakes. Talking to this young person made me think about the positive sides of teenage risk taking, which is why I now conduct the research that I do now!
