Great question. I think for me I always wanted to be a scientist in some way or another, but didn’t necessarily realise this at an early age. From a very young age I was intrigued by how the body worked and was curious about how certain processes worked, so with that science was always something I was interested in. I knew for certain that I wanted to be a scientist when I did my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience and cultured my first ever Schwann cells in a dish. Seeing cells growing in dish for the first time felt so surreal and is something I will never forget. I haven’t looked back since, and now I am realising more and more that being a scientist has no limits, but many endless opportunities!

Fabulous question…
I always loved growing things and had lots of pets – and found that I really loved research when I was at University
