      I haven’t done tests as such in my form of science, but what I do do is go on excavations and try to learn about our human ancestors that way. In that sense my biggest accomplishment is leading my own project in Tanzania.

      Hi 498putk33

      great question!

      I had lots of science tests when I was at University, and some were really tough. The biggest test I have had is a special one called a “transfer meeting” which you have to do after you have been doing a PhD for a year, it’s so the university can decide if you are doing research well enough to stay with them or if you have to leave. It’s very scary. You have to do a big talk to the university all about your research and then go to a long meeting with people high up at the university who ask you A LOT of questions about your research, how you do it and importantly, how much you know about it.

      I’m really glad I passed!!!

      Senga 🙂
