      Ooh, that’s a good question!
      To be honest I don’t really know. I have alot of different interests, one of them is giving drama lessons to children at schools but it all depends on how things roll, what kind of jobs are available and what kind of things interest me at that point in time. I don’t really like to plan ahead too much, because you never know how things are gonna go anyhow.

      For now I can say though that I really enjoy science and I don’t think I will ever stop asking questions about why people behave the way they do, so in a way I will always stay a scientist. 🙂

      Wow, I have never thought of it to be honest! I know a lot of scientists who continue on part time doing research after they have reached retirement age, I reckon I will be one of them! Science is such a massive part of who I am and how I think and see the world, I can’t imagine being without it! So, in answer to your question, I never will retire!! 😀
