  I have 2 daughters, they are quite young, however I can tell they are going to like science type subjects as they are always asking questions and taking things apart to see how they work!

  No I don’t. No scientists in my family.
  My brother studied photography at university. But he spends a lot of his free time reading technical books by NASA and Bletchley Park. So I think that he is a scientist at heart

  I do! My two daughters do like science too, partly because of my influence I’m sure but I think all kids are natural scientists – really it all comes down to curiosity about the world and how it works the way it does.

  I have a daughter, who is an anthropologist and works in the Cabinet Office – she was involved in organising the King’s coronation. I have a son, a biochemist, who works in cybersecurity.

  I don’t, but I do have 2 dogs; they are not interested in science (that I know of)

  I dont have any children. I have nieces and nephews who are interested in science but I am not sure if they will want to be engineers or scientists in the future. Still I am very happy to help with their homework 😀
