      I don’t have any children at the moment, but I do think that being a scientist is a good thing to be, even if you don’t do it as a job. Being interested in the world around us and learning about it makes lots of things in everyday life much more fun 😁

    I don’t have any children of my own, but I do have nieces and a nephew. My nephew is currently thinking about what he would like to do after school for university and is interested in Marine Biology. This is quite a different type of ‘scientist’ role to what I do, but I definitely encourage him to do what he wants to do. There is such a wide range of different types of scientist roles available to choose from. I am also a STEM ambassador, and really enjoy promoting working in science to students at different events, because there is such a big range of different jobs you can do.
