      I like science because the answer is never straightforward, and…. not everyone knows the answer! It’s actually okay to say “I don’t know.” New things are being discovered all of the time, and the smallest discovery can make the biggest impact. Science is constantly learning things, and technology has helped us move very far forward with our discoveries. I think now is a great time to be a scientist, we have so much to be able to help us make our discoveries, just think where we could be in 50 years or 100 years! 🙂

      My favourite thing in science is solving puzzles and mysteries. Every experiment I do gives me a clue as to exactly how our blood plasma works and so I am constantly getting new pieces to the jigsaw to see the full picture one day.

      Science is a big mystery and as Louise says you need to ask questions. The good thing about science is that there is no such thing as a stupid or a crazy questions. Sometimes the crazy questions help us learn the most!

      quite simply I like to understand how the world works. And particularly with biomedical science it is amazing to discover how our bodies work, and what goes wrong in different diseases. And hopefully by understanding what has gone wrong we can also figure out how to cure the disease.

      There are so many interesting things to learn and it is so important for many things that we use everyday and take for granted. Can you imagine a world without phones, tv or the Internet?? Or even food?? If people weren’t interested in science then we wouldn’t be where we are now. Imagine what might be possible in the next 50 years and you could be a part of it!
