      I started my undergraduate degree in Chemistry in 2010 so by some definition you could say then… but I’ve been playing with at-home science kits since I was a child!

      I started my chemistry undergraduate degree in 2014, so you could say I have done it professionally since then. But I have been experimenting with science kits and took part in science competitions already in school. I was fortunate that my school had a lot of science classes.

      10 years if you just count degree level and above, a lot longer if you count making “potions” with all the different toiletries and wondering why the baby oil won’t mix with the water.

      I guess I got interested in science at primary school… It got more interesting at secondary school and university open even more windows into science. But if you measure when I started to be a professional scientist that would be in 1986 when I started working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. So that is 37 years ago.

      I started my undergraduate studies in 1981. Got my first Chemistry kit at the age of 11, and was hooked on the subject ever since. Played with Lego when I was even younger, then dropped it at about 15 and 40 years later thought we could use Lego to “make” some scientific instruments and I started a project where we (read a student) used Lego to make the housing for a colorimeter and a fluorimeter.

      I have been doing science since elementary school, but I really got interested in chemistry in grade 8 and that was over 30 years ago.

      I started my chemistry degree in 2002, so more than 20 years! I’m still not bored of it…
