      Hi dylan. I’ve only been a scientist for 3 years! I haven’t really invented much of anything yet. My work revolves around analysis: I take data our experiment has spat out, and I try and sift it for interesting discoveries.

      That’s a far cry from inventing anything though. Speaking of inventions though, one of my friends and colleagues has used the knowledge he gained on our experiment to invent a portable neutron detector (used for hunting radioactive stuff). He’s a lot older and more experienced than me though. I hope to invent something useful once I have a few more years of experience under my belt.
