  I got into science because I liked learning about the human body and how diseases make us ill!

  I like to be nosy, I enjoy finding out how life works: how am I able to raise my arm by just thinking about it; why do leaves drop in autumn; why can fish breath under water but I can’t. I always had lots of questions and science helps answer them.

  I had done science demonstrations to young people for many years – primary school, youth groups etc. but I wasn’t actually working in a science job. It seemed a natural progression and when the job came up at the university, I went for it.
  Now I get to play with the big stuff.

  I was good at science at school but didn’t pursue it as I thought it would be boring. When I was studying on my Human Resource Management degree we were allowed to choose 3 “wild” modules (anything you liked from the prospectus) and one of these was “Introduction to Forensic Science”. The content blew me away and I instantly knew this was what I wanted to do so when I had finished that year of study, I moved onto the full Forensic Science degree programme and the rest is history!

  I get into physics (and also general science) because I enjoy exploring how our world comes to be. Physics has many neat theories and physicists want to combine them into one grand theory. This search for the ultimate explanation for the universe really appeals to me, which is the reason why I want to get into physics.
