      Hello!

      That is a really tough question. The scientist I would choose is Mary Anning, perhaps the greatest fossil hunter ever!

      Mary lived was born in 1799, a time when they didn’t know about dinosaurs. She was not trained as a scientist but taught herself all about geology and anatomy.

      The fossils she found changed the way we thought about the history of the Earth. She made so many important discoveries but because she came from a poor family and was a woman, a lot of people tried to claim her findings as their own.

      She was one truly awesome scientist and the question I would ask her if I could, would be simply ‘what was your favourite dinosaur?’ 🙂

      Great question ayesharashid!

      This is a really tough one to anwer……There are so many questions I’d like to ask. I think I might ask Boris Rosing how on earth he came up with the idea of the TV….its something we use so much now, that I wonder how he discovered it and decided he needed to try to make something like this.

      Who would you ask, and what would you ask them?!
