      I’m 33. I finished the PhD four years ago, the masters 9 years ago, the bachelor 11 years ago. Not sure from what point is someone counted a scientist: after bachelor, masters, or PhD?

      I’m 24. I’ve been studying science all my life (except a short gap a couple of years ago).

      I’ve been a professional scientist for about 18 months 🙂

      I’m 30 and have been in a science job for eight years. If you include studying as well (a-levels and university), I’ve been a scientist for 15 years!
