Question: what do you want to achieve in life?

Sophia Pells answered on 6 Mar 2019:
Oooh these questions are really making me have to think about my life plan! It sounds cheesey but I think the main thing I want to achieve is to contribute something that is going to help people in some way. Hopefully with my work that will be with helping create a new treatment for cancer, and also hopefully by inspiring young people to go into science!

Meirin Oan Evans answered on 7 Mar 2019:
Continuing with the cheese, I want to add to the body of knowledge that humanity is creating, to help make the world a better place. Having gained this knowledge, I want to share it with others, to inspire young people to engage with science.

Emily Lewis answered on 14 Mar 2019:
a scary question! but a good one. like the others I want to contribute to the knowledge we have and I want to use it to help people, mostly by designing and popularising alternative energy sources to coal and oil. I want to help stop climate change basically.
I also want to pass on my passion to others so more people get interested in science 🙂 -

What could be the benefit of your work?
Sophia commented on :
Hopefully my work could lead to more effective treatments for some cancers

Does your work help improve or save peoples lives?
anon-201559 commented on :
do you deal with harmful substances when working
Sophia commented on :
I sometimes work with radioactive samples and solutions which can be dangerous but we have to follow so many rules to make sure everything is safe so there’s never any danger. For example, we always have to wear dose badges which keep track of how much radiation dose we’ve got and if it gets too high we won’t be able to work with radiation any more.
Sophia commented on :
At the moment my work doesn’t directly help people, but it could lead to improved radiation therapy for cancer treatment in the future, so that could help people with cancer. One day a week I teach a lab course at my uni, so I guess I am helping students then.
