      I guess since I was about 10 I did. Then I didn’t know how to get there but I did enjoy science. Only when I got to high school did I see that I needed to go to university and beyond to become a scientisit. Made it eventually of course!

      I always loved science and was interested in it. So I knew I wanted to do something in that field – I actually always wanted to be an engineer when I was in school. But I think I only really understood what work as a scientist looked like when I went to university because I did not know anyone who worked as a scientist before that. So, I think I only really realised that I wanted to work as a scientist in university.

      I think so. I have always loved technology and learning about the way that the World works!

      No. It was probably only when I was 16-17, when we learned more about Chemistry, Physics and Biology and got to do experiments in the lab more, that I began to think about it.
