Hi Sanah,
That’s a really hard question, because there are lots of things I like about science but I think my absolute favorite thing is that we discover new things all the time, and to me that’s really exciting!
For example, this summer scientists found a new species of snake in Costa Rica. Noone had ever seen the snake or studied it before and I think new discoveries like that are very interesting. It’s the same in the research I do, when I find a new way to make my drugs it’s really exciting and very satisfying.

Hi Sanah,
It’s got to be trying to uncover the mysteries of the universe, and discovering new things! 🙂
But yes, I agree with Hannah, there are lots of things about being a scientist that I like!

Sanah,
My favourite thing about science is when you found out something that makes you go ‘wow’. For example, at the University I am a student of they found bacteria which can use electricity to make food. Some clever person suggested reversing this process, and it seems to work therefore using bacteria to make electricity! *mind explodes*

why did you decide to be a scientist

Hi 577drug39,
I don’t think I ever really decided to be a scientist, it just happened! When it came to choosing my GCSE and A Level subjects (the exams you do at secondary school) I just picked the subjects I found the most interesting and the ones I enjoyed the most. I was really lucky to have some great science teachers and found that I liked doing the experiments so ended up doing Chemistry at University. I’m very glad I did too as the excitement of discovering new things is great!
