I do a little bit of work with adults as a comparison to children, but you’re right in saying that most of my work is done with children. I chose to work with children because to get a full understanding of how the brain works, we need to know how it develops as people grow up, since there are a lot of things that older children and adults can do that babies and very young children can’t. There is still a lot we don’t know about the brain, and if we can work out what the more basic things are that very young children and babies can do and how they work, we can build up to understanding the very complicated things that adults are capable of.

Mainly because the condition I’m working on affects people from birth and they grow with it so makes sense to investigate from the begining hence why it’s focussed on children.

My day to day work doesn’t really involve people. But I do outreach events to inspire and inform the public from adults to children.

Like Tom, my day to day work doesn’t really involve people. I often go and do assemblies in schools though, teaching children about protecting the ocean! Its cheesy but children are the future, so the health of the ocean is in your hands!
