<p>I think this would be very difficult. Not impossible, but very difficult. You’ll be working all day, so you would have to choose projects that don’t require much time, or much in the way of time-critical steps and which will accommodate your work schedule. You won’t have access to research-grade equipment. You won’t have any significant research budget for supplies or animal care. I’m sure if you are creative, you could come up with something to do, and start a club with students, but it wouldn’t be anything like professional research, more like a fun hobby that likely will never get published.</p>
