      Great question! I have really enjoyed science since I started properly studying it in school. I really like how everything in life can be related back to chemistry and physics and I find the biology of the human body to be fascinating! It’s amazing to think how much we have found out about the human body, plants, animals and our surroundings from current and past research. My real passion for science started when I was studying higher chemistry at school and that’s what inspired me to study chemistry at university!

    I totally agree! the human body is so interesting, did you know we breathe inbetween 47,617,000- 84,030,000 atoms a day?

    I have always enjoyed unconventional science, for example my A Level Physics project looked at chocolate and my A Level Chemistry project looked at vitamin C in orange juice. I didn’t think I was a scientist until recently because what I study isn’t always perceived as science

    When I was younger I always enjoyed learning about the world around me, but I didn’t really like science until I did A-levels. I had a really amazing Biology teacher who brought the subject to life and showed me how many different things you can learn about in just one subject!

    I can honestly say that there have been times where I have hated science!
    When the experiment I took days setting up didn’t work or when I tried something loads of times with it failed in a different way each time.
    Quite often the hardest things you do are the most satistying when you complete them. This has certainly been the case for me in science.
    The days I hate it are far between each other and more than outweighed by the enjoyment of discovering something new, maybe something no one has ever known before.

    I have always enjoyed science. Some days it can be frustrating – maybe if an experiment does not work or there is a lot of work to do! But there are so many good days – being out on boats, seeing animals, finding cool results, sharing my enthusiasm for science. I love my job 🙂
