About me

Introduction	I quit my job in July. I was a scientist. I love science but I hate the politics of working in a lab. The funding system in Australia is so competitive, that the most aggressive, morally defunct people survive. (A few awesome ones do survive too, but not as many as you'd hope) Not for me thanks! Now I am filling my time by volunteering for a few organisations. I spend a lot of time in a homeless and disadvantaged day centre. It is the most awesome fun I have ever had. I get to meet the most interesting people, so I thought I'd share my stories in the hope that it may encourage others to volunteer!
