      hmm.. good question

      If possible, it will be due to laughing so hard that I can’t stop because I found the cure to a type of cancer 😛

      My last act? Diving to the bottom of Loch Ken (which is completely INFESTED with crayfish!) to see how many animals are actually in there… fishermen removed over a million but the population is still enormous. It must be pretty crowded down there! :-O Either that or I’d dive to the bottom of Loch Ness and solve the mystery of Nessie.

      I’ve never dived before (it scares me a bit) but… all in the name of science, eh?!

      I think we had a similar question to this earlier. If I was going to die doing science I’d like it to be something amazing and memorable that would change things for the better. Saving the last white rhino from poachers, or stopping a massive oil-slick from destroying pristine coastline, or saving a population from famine.

      However, I will try to avoid this fate as I have plenty of things I still want to do and find out!
