      No- everything that I do does not harm animals unless you dispose of the chemicals in the wrong way. For example some of the polymers I use can not be dumped in usual rubbish they need to be disposed of safely…

      No my job specifically does not harm any animals. However the pharmaceutical industry is legally required to test on animals during development of new drugs. This is minimised as much as possible and does not “harm” any animals. This is done in the most humane ways possible.

      No, my job does not harm animals…it is something I wouldn’t feel particularly comfortable about. Actually my research is aimed to substitute dogs in the detection of explosives which sometimes can be exhausting for them. They are still better though… 🙂
