Question: Would your simple modelling work help kids understand science in a simple and fun way, and if so, how much?

It might do. At the moment, I even use this when I talk to some biologists as now there’s lots of things that we can do that are very different to what they’ve traditionally done. Not only with lots more data and more genes and looking at whole system sof things, but even in the diferent ways that people’s minds seem to work, given the very different backgrounds we have. So by talking together and using some simple examples, we can begin to speak the same language and make progress.
