As Lab manager of the Language Development Department I have to deal with a variety of tasks- from data protection, setting up ethical approval, training lab members in procedures, to keeping track of equipment, bookings, budget and planning different outreach activities and buying toys.
What makes my work so interesting, is that I get to work with colleagues from a variety of disciplinary fields in developmental research, as our research group forms one of the four pillars of the Baby & Child Research Center.
