      That’s a tricky one. As a scientist, I need to know the main elements – especially those that are needed by the human body – and the rows and columns of the periodic table. It’s one of these things that every scientists needs to know.

      I remember it wasn’t the easiest bit of science for me to learn! How many do you know?

      You end up seeing it so much, and using it so much that in the end you memorise quite a few…

      I’m aware of most but only need to know something about a few!
