  No I don’t feel like it’s my fault.
  
  Millions of people die from Malaria in a year and most of them are children, I do feel bad that they are in a situation where they can’t get the help or medicine they need. One of the reasons I work in an area of science where I try to understand what happens in diseases is so I can add to the global accumulation of knowledge into these diseases and hopefully alleviate the suffering of people who don’t have the type of medical access we have in the UK. And hopefully something I discover will be able to save people’s lives in the future.
