I'm a Scientist

Named after the Danish atomic physicist Niels Bohr, the element Bohrium was discovered in 1981. It is a highly radioactive element and does not occur naturally. Only a few atoms of it have ever been made.

In this general science zone are six scientists working in a range of fields. One is an in-vivo scientist creating new medicines for children, while another develops new materials to protect wind turbines from impacts. There’s a scientist working as a lecturer and audiologist helping adults with hearing and balance problems. A trainee clinical scientist in the zone is working in the genetics department of a hospital, while a research technician works in an immunology lab that specialises in fungal disease. The sixth scientist in the zone uses genetically engineered bacteria to make plastics from waste gases.
