I'm a research scientist
working in cancer genetics. And nope, this is pretty much what I always wanted to be.
I don't think I've ever done a cartwheel properly, and I stopped trying after my wrist gave way once and I faceplanted mid-turn.

Uhoh, you're probably mean to rats aren't you?
My rat has the snuffles, he sounds like a squeaky toy.

That's pretty much what happens when I cartwheel, my wrists are limper than Crow's so I'm shite at cartwheels, handstands and the drums.

No, I'm not
I don't work with any animals at all. There's not as much animal testing goes on as the general public seem to think.

This makes me happy. I just assumed with it being cancer and shit, makes me think of earmouse.

Do you work with white mice and get rats to run around mazes all day?
Genuine question.

Nope
as it's quite hard to make rodents running around mazes in to a cure for cancer.
