Here’s what she had to say about her victory:

Wow! I am absolutely delighted to have been voted this term’s winner of I’m a Scientist. Thank you to all the students who spent time chatting with me and voting. You guys are amazing, and I’ve loved talking about science with each and every one of you. 

I’ve been asked so many fantastic questions in the chats that have really made me stop and think. It has refreshed my perspective on approaching science by being reminded that no question is too big or small. Even the simplest questions are nuanced, and the biggest questions are not unreachable!

As well as buoyant curiosity, it’s great to see what a wonderfully polite, friendly, and grateful generation of scientists we have coming up. Students, you have given me a lot of hope for the fight against climate change; if we have your intelligent, creative minds on our team we are sure to save our planet. 

Thank you so much to the team at I’m a Scientist! You’ve created a really special and unique platform for sharing science and breaking down barriers and stereotypes along the way. It’s been humbling and thought-provoking meeting my fellow scientists – thank you all; I’ve learnt such a lot! 

Keep thinking. Keep questioning. Keep dreaming. Keep smiling.
