      I am good thank you, how are you?

      I don’t really have a lot of reasoning, it just looked like fun! I enjoy talking about my work, I think it is really cool. When I was at school I never knew that the research I am now doing even existed. also at school, I often found science a little dull – I was good at it, but the experiments were putting non reactive metal in water, bouncing a tennis ball, and rolling dice. I want to let young people enthused in science know there are far far more interesting areas of science you can explore once you have mastered the fundamentals at school!

      Hello, am pretty good, thanks, hope you are well too 🙂
      I came across the competition by chance, and thought it would be a good idea to get people interested in science and tell a bit about my research or research in general. I’m not particularly competetive, so I don’t see it as competition against other scientist, but more like a friendly chat round.
