What do you do?

This one is pretty straightforward: we want to hear about your professional life. What do you do? And what does everyone else do? How, for example, do scientists conceptualize their work? What do business executives actually do all day? What is that musician you love working on now? What goes into a news broadcast or a clothing line? What are the pleasures and challenges of running a university? How is technology changing the way a lobbyist lobbies? Sound interesting? You bet.
