      If I won, I would put the money into producing a science play – there is more info about it on my profile page. It would be really great to have the money for this, but it’s not that I badly want to win, but that I badly DON’T WANT TO BE VOTED OUT, because then I would have to LEAVE and stop answering the fun sciencey questions. :'(

      I’d like the bragging rights 😉 well who wouldn’t? lol

      I would like to make some small replicas of book pages that I’ve looked at and do some in traditional inks, some in modern ones then let you investigate which are the historical ones and which are the modern ‘forgeries’

      This will add on to the spectroscopy in a suitcase outreach kit that we already loan out to schools to allow you to have a go yourselves already https://www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/outreach/spectroscopy_in_a_suitcase/
