      I don’t think I ever knew I wanted to be a scientist. I just knew that I wanted to learn and study the things I found most interesting, and for me, that was astronomy.

      I don’t really think of myself as a scientist as such. I started out in health care thinking I was a health care professional. It’s only as time has gone by I realise that using the technology to make a diagnosis is very much science. So I guess my motivation was more about wanting to help diagnose people, to get them the best / correct treatment

      When I was at school, I really enjoyed doing experiments in science lessons.
