      Hard question! When I was in school, I would have definitely answered biology but during my studies I found my love for physics. Of which I was always sure is that I have a difficult relationship with chemistry!

      Ooh, Chemistry just pips Physics to the line for me.

      All biology is chemistry and physics when you break it down, and all chemistry is really just a subset of physics. I would counter with ‘Physics or Maths’ – most physics is just applied maths, but maths cannot always account for the reality of the physical interactions that we observe around us, so it’s more a question about whether you prefer pure theory vs more practical applications. For the record, I actually did Natural Sciences for my undergraduate degree – a mix of physics, chemistry, biology, maths, and materials, and my current research borrows knowledge from every discipline.

      Chemistry by far 🙂

      As a Physicist, I should really say Physics…. But I did love Biology at school and I very nearly took that on to university instead. I wonder what I would be doing now if I had made that choice…
