Question: What made you want to be a scientist after school?

I’ve always struggled to understand how people’s minds work, but I found it much easier to understand how people’s bodies work! My teachers and parents said I should be a doctor, but then I would have to work with patients all the time. The nice thing about working as a scientist is that you can be as sociable as you like. If you just want to spend a whole day in your own little bubble you usually can!
