      I knew I wanted to study science at uni when I was in sixth form. I only knew I wanted to be a scientist when I was in the middle of my degree and found I loved research. A professor once said to me ‘ours in the only job in the world where not only do we learn something new every week, but we learn something in the world that no-one else has ever known’. That’s why I love science, it can be very frustrating but its soooo interesting!

      It wasn’t really a childhood dream, in fact as a teenager I never thought I’d up being a researcher. Now I really love science and want as many people as possible to feel the same way as I do 🙂
