      Hi

      I like working thinigs out, solving puzzles. And I really liked the idea of finding out something no-one else has ever found out before.

      I guess because I liked understanding how and why things were the way they are. I think it’s amazing how the physical world works. For example, I love it when you suddenly discover how something that you always regarded as perfectly ordinary like your kidney is revealed to be a hugely complex set of filters and monitors that tweak the balance of all sorts of things in your blood minute by minute.

      Hi guys
      Well, i always enjoyed science at school and always did quite well at it. It was always important to me to do something I enjoyed and found interesting. Plus i always wanted to be a farmer so i went to uni to study agriculture which is a very science-based course – the more science i did, the more i found interesting in it!

      I like to keep my brain occupied and easily get bored, so by being a scientist I can just keep investigating things and finding out new stuff! Every day is different!
      I liked science at school so just kept studying it and as I learnt more and more I wanted to find out more! I found a topic which I really liked – how the baby develops in the womb and got a job studying this.
