      We get questions in batches, so it is relatively easy to keep track of them when we get them. I am quite organised so manage to keep up with them but only just! I think that’s part of the excitement about the whole process – answering questions that are being fired at you faster than you can blink!
      I absolutely love the challenge though so please keep your questions coming!!

      It’s frantic, yes! I’m not being as diligent about keeping up with them as I should be between my teaching commitments.

      Keep the questions coming though, there are some really interesting points coming through.

      You’ll probably notice that in my answers to the more scientific ones I’m giving other things for you to think about! Hope it’s interesting!

      It’s a challenge, but I can definitely make time to try and answer all of these questions in the best possible way.

      Being a scientist is all about time management, and I would like to say that I am quite good at managing my time. Apart from that it helps that the questions are really interesting, which makes it really fun to answer all of your questions.

      I’m definitely impressed with the volume of the questions and the quality of some of them as well so it has been quite challenging to keep up, particularly as I’m working at a national facility this week so I’m trying to cram as many experiments in as I can.
