Question: How would the money benifit your research?

Lauren Laing answered on 7 Mar 2016:

To be honest, I wouldn’t use the money to benefit my research, instead I would do something exciting to benefit future researchers like yourself. I would use the money to fund trips for young people from local school to visit labs, and get hands on experience. I would like to allow young scientist to ask their own scientific questions, and design experiments to answer the things which make them curious! It is really valuable to be able to see what it’s really like to be a scientist, and I am keen to encourage young people to become enthused by STEM subjects.
