Question: What is the most important thing in your job

David Walker-Sünderhauf answered on 6 Mar 2019:

To me, the most important thing is to make sure I record my results in the right way, and also do a good job in analysing them and presenting them in a way other people can understand. Another really important thing, and part of my data analysis, is doing stats. This is something I don’t really enjoy, but it is very important as scientists use stats to back up their data and show that, mathematically, there is actually something happening and it isn’t just wishful thinking.
