      ANYTHING? Probably chocolate that didn’t make you fat, but had loads of healthy vitamins and fibre in! So I could eat as much as I wanted without feeling guilty!

      I would like to be frozen when I die and then be brought back to life in 100 years time as I would love to know what the world would be like and what Science has achieved in that time. Just think that even 100 years ago, TVs, Internet and mobile phones were unheard of. What might be possible in the next 100???

      I should probably say “better medicines for cancer” since that is what I work on, but if I could create anything I would probably go for

      i) a teleporter so I could visit anywhere easily (and get to work without commuting), or
      ii) a machine that allowed people to change their appearance as desired.

      Wow, what a question! There’s so many things I’d want to do. The chocolate idea is very good, and the being frozen one. I think it might be a time machine for me though! It would be so good to go back in time and meet some of the famous scientists of the past, meet family members who died before I was born and maybe re-live some of the amazing times I had when I was younger. I’d probably go back to the teenage me and tell her that she doesn’t need to worry about life – everything works out okay in the end! 🙂
