      It’s not really about being good at science – more about learning and developing ways of thinking and problem solving.

      I can’t remember not wanting to do science – I enjoyed it. But revision for exams is more memory based and is different to thinking things through in a way that allows you to working things out.

      I love puzzles and my work is like a big puzzle

      I think everyone can be good at science… if you’re curious about things… like to ask questions and like to try things for yourself… then I think you can be a scientists…

      I’m curious about everything… and as a kid always asked “why”!

      You also need to not be easily discouraged… enjoy challenges and figuring things out for yourself…

      But it’s just been what I always wanted to be…
