Hi Janet, Lucy & 08sbhatt. I participated in this because I think it is important for scientist to be able to tell people outside of their topic area about what they do. Also, I think it’s great for schools to be able to have some real connection with scientists. That way, students know we are real people with jobs that are obtainable. It has been more fun than I expected and I would have said ‘fun’ had I only known 🙂

Because I love the opportunity to tell other people about science. Also, I think it’s good for you guys to have an opportunity to talk to us and see what it’s like being a scientist. I wish I’d had that opportunity before I left school, so I could have made a more informed career choice.

I wanted to be able to talk to students all over the country – not just my local area – and explain to them that science is more than just test tubes and pondering the meaning of life or the big bang theory. to help students see that scientists are also normal people – not created in a test tube, we create what’s in the test tube.

For the challenge, and the opportunity to chat about science with a really important audience: the next people to go to Mars, and the next generation of scientists and engineers may include you and your classmates! It also sounded like a great idea.. and it’s been a fantastic way of interacting that’s quite different from anything I have done before. It’s a lot more rewarding that just turning up somewhere and giving a lecture..

Sounded fun and was an opportunity to encourage students to continue science in their education and careers.
