      Personally I prefer physical sciences and chemistry. I enjoy watching David Attenborough documentaries, but I’ve never wanted to learn more about them. I found biology really difficult at school, so maybe that put me off… Also, I find space and planets really boring. I like the nice photos from space telescopes, but I don’t really want to learn more about it. Maybe I’ll start to like different things later, and want to learn more about them

      Haha, I’m completely the opposite to Alex — I love all kinds of science! But that doesn’t mean I actually know or understand much about them. Psychology is my favourite, so it’s what I’ve studied and what I know best. I understand much less about physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, but I’m still fascinated by them and try to find out more about them whenever I can. You’ll often find me reading Wikipeda at lunchtime to try to learn about turbochargers or genetic mutations!

      Absolutely! A lot of my research involves many different areas of science – it is very interesting to see how they are related

      I personally liked studying biology and chemistry in school, and I have never been a fan of physics! I am interested in the world around us including about humans, animals, plants, the ice caps, mountains (especially volcanoes!), etc. I also love space science but I know very little about it, I just enjoy watching documentaries about Mars and asteroids and other galaxies! I also like to learn about dinosaurs, I’m fascinated by imagining how the world was once so drastically different from how it is today. I guess there are a lot of science subjects that I like but I would not necessarily want to be studying them for my own job. It’s a good thing there are other people who like physics so I don’t have to! 😉
