I’m quite nosey- I just have to find out how or why something works! Being a scientist lets me do that as my job, so it was a good fit 🙂 There wasn’t 1 inspiration or even a number of inspirations for me, it just sort of happened.

For me, no-one in my family went to Uni or studied science so although my family never was against it, they never particularly encouraged me either. What motivated me was really two things: I thought it was really quite cool to know how stuff work (chemistry, physics, biology all explain to you how stuff around us and how WE work!) and I had my best grades in science, so my teachers told me I could make a career in science. You don’t need to have good grades to do a career into science but that helps realising that it’s something you could see yourself doing.
