      It depends on which bit of my project I’m working on:
      If I’m looking at the effects of the UV on the bacteria, then I’ll be wearing my biology hat.
      Most of the time I’ll be wearing my physics hat, that’s when I’m looking at the interactions of the light with the water, optical interfaces, how it reflects, refracts and generally how it moves through the water.
