      Hi liquidcrystals

      Thank you for another brilliant question.

      I’m very lucky that the work I do is quite “cool” at the moment and myself and other scientists doing similar work are discovering new things a lot. I do sometimes get questions if I do a talk about my work about why I did the experiment I did and if I think that work I am doing will actually be useful. Thankfully nobody has said to me they think my work is wrong yet but I’m sure it could happen in the future because one of the great things about being a scientist is that there are lots of different experiments you can do to find something out so another scientist might think the way I do things isn’t as good as the way they do it. That’s OK though because it will help me to think of other ways to do things and that’s really good.

      Thanks

      Senga 🙂
