In our 101 Jobs That Change the World series, we met five people working in some of the world's most amazing science facilities. Some of them have jobs you'd never think of being connected to science - but they all have a part to play in the amazing research in their workplaces. Find out more about their cool science careers in their full videos.
Katy Rumm works as a chef at the Rothera Research station in Antarctica. Her challenge is to provide researchers and staff with great nutrition and tasty meals, with just the ingredients kept in Rothera's stores.

In these videos you’ll meet the people who work – often behind the scenes – in a wide variety of fulfilling and interesting roles beyond the traditional image of a researcher or innovator. Our 101 Jobs profiles offer a glimpse into the lives of the varied people who are working across the research and innovation system, some in remote or unusual locations. Their jobs are essential to the creative, dynamic research and innovation system we need to tackle huge challenges like Covid-19, climate change, how we’ll live and work in the future – and they really do change the world.
