      I took up science because I liked being able to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’ something happens, and then doing research to solve the problem.
      I am a methodologist which means that I look at trying to improve the way we do clinical trials – clinical trials are the big experiments that we need to do to make sure that medicines are safe and effective before they’re given to sick people. I want to improve the way we do clinical trials because that will make it more likely that we can quickly and easily find cures for diseases.
