Question: You said that you use helicopters and planes, can you fly them?

Haha that’d be awesome!
No, I can’t fly a helicopter or a plane. This is a great example to explain that science is almost always about teamwork. We often think of scientists working away alone and having big thoughts all by themselves. Actually, ideas can come from groups that help each other think, and I’d get no-where without my trusty pilots!
