      Making drugs takes a really really long time, and I have only been a scientist for 3 years, so I haven’t cured anything yet!

      The implant that I am working on (with a big team) is to help fix cleft palates (where babies are born with a hole in the roof of their mouth), and it will help other facial reconstruction operations too (like if someone had been in a big crash).
