      I feel really passionate about making science a more accessible and open area for all! I want to make people who feel that STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) aren’t an option for them to feel like that door is open, should they decide that is what they want to do 😊 I want to encourage people that science is for EVERYONE! It’s not just for old, grey haired men who look like Albert Einstein, y’know! 😎⚛️ Science has a bad rep for being boring but I’m telling you it can be hilarious, surprising and downright ridiculous – and I feel like everyone deserves to know!

      Love this question. I am extremely passionate about 3 things- biophysical research, teaching and music!.
      1) I want to be a successful biophysicist who can find the cure for a lot of harsh diseases.
      2) I love teaching and helping curious students like you learn about science in a way that helps you enjoy learning
      3) I have always loved writing, recording and performing rap. I still do!

      People ask me to choose one but I can’t. I love all the 3 things I mentioned and I am working hard to achieve all of them.

      I am really passionate about Biology and Genetics. I am fascinated by how much information we can get from the code in our bodies and how it can vary from person to person and species to species!
      I am also passionate about getting others interested in Science. Science is such a vast subject that I think there is always something someone will be interested in that relates to science!
      Sammie is right, science isn’t just for old grey haired guys, it’s for everyone of all ages and abilities.
      I love to teach and explain things in a way that everyone can understand and I am passionate about become a better teacher and communicator too!
