am employed by my university (UWIC) to do research and also
lecturing, so it is nice to have a regular income! I also do
research consultancy, which I do get paid for, but this isn’t
too regular.      I also do a lot of stuff that I don’t get paid
for (but very much enjoy) e.g. science communication/policy,
public engagement and working hard to try and change computing
education in UK schools!     • Photo: Tim MillarTim Millar

salary. Before this level, scientists are usually on contracts
where the money comes from a grant
