The real world is a fascinating place and I want to know how it works!
I’ve always asked questions about the world around me and I like finding out the answers. There’s so much complex stuff happening in nature all around you all the time. It’s fun just trying to see what’s going on and piece it all together to see the big picture! -

At school, they were the easy subjects (maths, physics chemistry) You didn’t have to memorise dates, learn grammar or write essays. And I was lucky to get some really good teachers – I think that can be the most important thing in getting you interested in something.
(the maths and physics got MUCH harder at university but I was hooked by then). -

Math was never my thing at school so I focused more on languages in the beginning. But then suddenly (can’t remember the reason) I set my heart on biology and chemistry and that’s how it started. Now I am here.

It always made sense to me as an approach for understanding the world. If you want to know something, you try it, test it, and figure it out. If you want to persuade someone of something, you prove it to them. And there’s so much out there! The biological, physcial and chemial processes involved in something as simple as a plant just “being” for a day are incredible.
