      Hi 892ensp37,

      It depends what you mean by biggest, from your keywords I take it you mean the biggest achievement.

      I am currently trying to get the next big achievement which would be funding to complete my own research without having a boss to tell you how to do things.

      However, to date, my biggest achievement is giving a research talk to colleagues from all over the world at a very large conference. Conferences like this are the way to improve your standing as a research scientist and so getting this change shows that others are recognising me as a good researcher undertaking world-class research.

      As in any job you continue to improve and develop meaning hopefully the next biggest thing will be right around the corner.

      Thanks for your question

      Cheers

      Kathryn

      For my Masters research project, I used actual rocks collected from the Moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. 10 years on from that I still can’t believe how cool and lucky I was to do that!!
