Question: What made you interested in science? What changed your mind, from wanting to be a writer to being a scientist?

Hi Emily! I always had an interest in how things worked around me, so I kind of was interested in science. Initially I decided to study science at uni because I thought I would have better job chances afterwards. However, I had some really good teachers at uni, and they helped to get me really excited about science. Now I’m so glad I chose to study it!
I hope that answers your question 🙂
