I really enjoyed practical physics – pulleys and springs and forces and stuff like that – until I was let into the secret of chemistry – but one particular part – the work of Nils Bohr (a physicist) who understood for the first time how atomic energy works and especially why and how atoms interact with each other – which even though chemistry had been around a lot longer prior to that, is the explanation for a lot of chemistry! That was when I was about 15 years old.

I loved anything that made a bang or changed colour! And then as I got a bit older I became really interested in atoms and elements because I was fascinated by the tiniest things that make up everything!

Chemistry at school was always my most favourite. I think its because you can do a great range of experiments that show simple concepts and are engaging.
When I studied chemistry further, I didn’t find it as interesting the more complicated it became. I love being able to relate concepts and ideas to things that I can see and touch.
So biology was the natural choice for me – as we all own a human body!
As Joanne says making loud noises and bright colours is ace! And if I could get a job doing that I probably would! -

I always liked maths – anything to do with puzzles or logical thinking, or word or number games.

I liked the natural sciences. Anything like animals, the oceans, the stars, dinosaurs and geology.

My favourite subject in school was Psychology during AS/A-Level. But I also actually enjoyed maths in GCSE’s, I liked that even if I didn’t understand it at first, if you just kept trying the same equation with different numbers, eventually it would make sense – it is just a matter of persistence and patience!

I was first interested in science to do with biology, animals and dinosaurs. When I watched Jurassic Park I loved the dinosaurs, and was amazed by them. Kept convincing myself that was a potential future.

My favorite science in school was Physics, but i did also like computer science and found that more enjoyable as i went through school and into college and university (and into my job today)

I didn’t really care that much about science when I was younger, I liked English more at primary school. It was only as I got older that I became more interested in the life sciences (like biology and medicine). I definitely wasn’t a kid that did experiments at home or was obsessed with animals or anything, I was more into Harry Potter.

I would say that what I was interested in as a child I wouldn’t necessarily have even known was ‘science’. I was just always interested in people and why they did the things that they did. I think one example of this was my childhood love of Big Brother. I was always just so fascinated at how people formed groups with each other and how each group treated other groups that weren’t part of their ‘clique’. Later when I began studying Psychology GCSE, I realised that this was all part of social Psychology. The rest is history as they say!

I really enjoyed learning about humans and animals, and loved it when I was taken to a science museum as a child 🙂
