Abstract: Extract Respiratory medicine is one of the most varied medical specialties, with several subspecialties [1]. Furthermore, respiratory research involves a plethora of preclinical, fundamental and translational science within individual specialities but also spanning across several specialities. For medical professionals, each subspecialty has its own benefits and challenges, and they can be very different from each other: the working life of a thoracic oncologist with a specialist interest in interventional pulmonology is likely to be very different from that of a COPD specialist who primarily works in the community. Similarly, life as a scientist working in cellular/molecular biology may differ in day-to-day tasks when compared with a scientist interested in systems biology or epidemiology.
