      Hi Crazycat – nice chatting with you today. It would be nice to win, but it’s not important. What’s important is that you have better understanding of science and drug discovery and are perhaps inspired to consider a career in science (preferably chemistry!!)

      Hey! It would be great to win, but I don’t think many of us are in this just for that.
      Everyone here is just really grateful to be given the opportunity to take part! The important part of this is that you guys get to speak directly to us scientists and ask any of those questions you’ve always wanted to know about.
      We just want to help inspire the next generation to continue on our work 😛 Right guys?

      Everybody likes to win, so if in science you manage to make a difference then you feel very happy, but like the other guys I think most people do science because they enjoy it and they feel like their knowledge might be able help people in someway!

      It would be great to win. However the reason I entered this event is to help pupils like yourself to gain a better understanding of science and drug discovery. I hope by the end of this process you will be able to make a better decision about science and understand what it is like to be a scientist.
