      I realise life was a lot easier when I was younger. But this is just growing older not really my choice of career.

      My work in medical physics has made me a bit paranoid about getting ill.

      What a great, and rather thought-provoking, question. I don’t think that my work has changed my worldview that much at all (as compared to having kids, for example!)

      That’s a tough question to answer, since I’m not sure if I would view the world differently if I liked all of the same things but wasn’t working in physics. I think being in science does make you more likely to look for reference material when reading news articles, though. At least, that’s what I do 😛
