      Yes, science was always my favourite subject and I knew I wanted to be a scientist since I was about 7. My reading book for school in Year 5 was a chemistry dictionary.

      I loved science and also art. I particularly loved when I could combine the two – I still do!

      I loved anything that had science in it, from biology to chemistry and physics through to P.E/Sports Science. Physics had loads of cool experiments and also space which is tres bien! Learning how things work is still mint to me, I used some of my GCSE circuits knowledge to build an electric guitar during lockdown.

      Yes, science and art were my two favourite subjects. I now like to do science as my job, and art as my hobby to get the best of both worlds.

      I liked biology best, then chemistry but never really understood physics!

      Yes! I actually always preferred Physics when I was growing up, mostly because I was obsessed with Space and the Solar System. Later in high school I realised I wasn’t great at Physics, and I had an amazing biology teacher who really pushed me in that direction.

      I enjoyed chemistry and maths a lot at school, and still teach a bit of chemistry to undergrads.
