      I think so – I’ve always preferred science to other subjects and I didn’t really know exactly what job I wanted to do.

      I think I was 14 when I decided I wanted to be a scientist although I had no idea at the time what a scientist did or what I needed to do to become one. It was the first thing I wanted to be, although I did also want to be an astronaut.

      Yes, I think it was the thing that I was naturally drawn towards. I do like other subjects too (Engligh, Art, etc), but I was always better at science, and we tend to like things we are good at!
