      I enjoy harnessing knowledge, learning new and interesting facts and exploring how those facts are found. I love thinking in the “language” of science and recognising the patterns in it. Science is very artistic, sometimes I just enjoy its beauty and fascination.

      I just love learning new things (and that is not just science stuff!) so whenever I read something new and I get a moment when something suddenly becomes clear and explains something I had trouble understanding I feel a real sense elation!
      I also enjoy the fact that I see the world very differently to non scientists…I can appreciate the superficial beauty of things but I am bowled over at the wonder of the beauty of nature and the scientific principals that govern everything in the universe.
