  By choosing the parts of science that YOU find most interesting! I always preferred biology to chemistry and physics at school, so I chose to study that in more detail at university.
  
  When I started university, I studied biology in my first year… then when it came to choosing my subjects for my other years, I decided to focus on zoology and ecology – the study of animals – because I found it more interesting than other parts!
  
  As long as you are studying something you find interesting, you will enjoy it! 🙂
  
  Apart from that… I think actually DOING science rather than reading about it makes it interesting. So instead of reading about animals, go out and look for them! If you go out to the countryside or to a national park, I’m sure you’ll find something!
  
  Check out this webcam for osprey chicks! if that isn’t enjoyable to watch, I don’t know what is!! it’s also strangely addictive:

Hey natashaa… I thought of a couple of other ways of making science fun 🙂

Making videos: http://www.tinyurl.com/imascientist – I made this to give you a quick introduction to the species I study!

AND doing quizzes… wanna find out which species of crayfish you would be? 🙂
