      Hi

      Yes, lots. I have to write a 40,000 word document about my work (called a thesis), which if I pass will entitle me to be ‘Dr Davies’ 🙂 It will also mean I can eventually get the best jobs around, and work on crime scenes etc. I also have to write papers, which detail my work so that other people know what I do and can use my data. Papers are where your textbooks are written from, so scientists do all the research, and teach it to you.

      Maybe one day you could do the research and teach your findings to young people?
