Question: If you were to win the £500, would you consider doing a roadshow for other areas of the country, if your first one for Plymouth and Cornwall is deemed successful?

Quite possibly! It would require a hefty bit of planning (not least getting the NHS and university on board); Alternatively – speaking with scientists local to an area to get them involved. People often get the wrong idea about “science”: it’s not about men in white coats playing with expensive machines and complicated mathematical formulae. It’s such a simple thing: “Where do I come from? How do my fingers and toes know to stop growing when I was a baby?” Sometime, like I’m a scientist; You just have to meet them to speak with them
