      I’m working on a project looking at the cells that live in your bones. They are alive, and they help to make your bones strong. But they are really small and hard to see, so the experiments are very difficult.

      Trying to make a blood treatment chip to diagnose blood diseases. We had to try make tiny little lumps (10 lumps across equals the thickness of 1 single hair). We had to try use injection molding into special porous foil to make these lumps, something which was never done before. But we succeeded, so happy days.

      Most intricate project… trying to get the tiny screw in my glasses back in when it falls out!

      Most of my projects are too big to fit through a doorway, some are too big to go on the road without a garda escort. Not very intricate 🙂

      I’m the same as @Katie – most of my projects are pretty big. But i did take my phone apart one time, fixed a little piece inside and put it all back together 🙂
