      In school it was probably physics. My teacher was fantastic but I struggled with the concepts a bit! Now I don’t work in physics, but in order to use microscopes I do have to learn how they work (which is basically physics). Luckily we have microscope specialist teams on hand to explain it to us in ways that we non-physicists can understand. 🙂

      Hmm probably inorganic chemistry as it takes me longer to understand some areas than it does others.

      For me, Physics. I hard to work really hard at it in order to get a good mark as I didn’t understand the concepts very well! I guess it’s because it’s so different to biology as it deals with big forces, big objects and sometimes weird and wacky theories. Most of which are hard to test anyway!

      Space science – which seems to be the focus of lots of questions.

      Biology, because there was so much to learn.
