      I’m super interested in being a scientist because I’m always curious and want to know more! Being a scientist means I get to answer these questions all day every day!

      Science is about looking at things that happen and trying to explain them. As a kid you might mess about with a lens trying to light fires and working out the best method; as you grow older that curiosity turns into something more rigorous and also you realise that it is possible to reach the limits of human knowledge and really “boldly go where no man has gone before”.
