1. What kinds of writing do you do in your field/job?

I record data and plans, and I write down observations and conclusions from my work.

2. Please tell me about the kind of writing you do on an average day.

On an average day… I pretty much write what I listed above. When an experiment is done I will write up a report in the proper format, and depending on the subject and the findings I may write an article.

3. For what purposes do you write?

I write primarily to record data.

4. For what audiences do you write?

I write for my superiors and peers within the immunologist and biology community.

5. What do you get out of the writing you do?

Writing itself isn’t really the focus of my job, if I personally get anything out of the writing it is from the information I wrote down.

I chose to interview an immunologist because that is in the biology category. I do not intend to be an immunologist, but their subject material could be important to me since I plan to go into large animal veterinarian work and there is disease in animals too. There doesn’t seem to be very much in the way of composing (if you don’t want to), which is right up my alley.
