      Because your teacher tells you to! 🙂

      I hope it gives you an idea of what it’s like to be a scientist – shows you how we spend our time and how we think. And, if there are any of you that are considering doing science at university or as a job, I hope talking to us will encourage you to try it.

      I’ve learnt so much already from you lot and the other scientists and we’ve only been going for a few days.

      Isn’t it a bit cool that you can ask us scientists ANYTHING?!
      I’d hope you enjoy it because if you don’t enjoy it then what is the point?!

      I didn’t know what it would be like to be a scientist until I was already working. This was after 4 years of university and a PhD. You get to ask any questions you like about what it is like to be a scientist so you can decide if it sounds like a career you would enjoy.
