  Nothing – we are giving our time for free (donations would be gratefully received).

  Nothing. In general doctors are paid more than teachers. Lots of doctors teach as well. Sometimes I spend nearly all week teaching medical students.
  
  As I’ve got the best job in the world, yes, it’s better than any other job you can name.

  Nothing – we are doing it for fun 🙂 I’m on maternity leave at the moment so I’m not getting paid anything at all! Though getting to spend time with my children is worth more than any amount of money <3

  We’re not being paid anything to be on here answering questions, we are doing it for fun, and because we enjoy talking about science. 🙂
