      I think most things are science related when you think about them. That’s one of the things about being a scientist, once you start thinking like a scientist then it’s hard to stop!

      Especially because I am an Engineer I like to know how things work. This means I am always taking things apart and putting them back together again. I think it can be quite annoying for my girlfriend, but it does mean that I can usually fix things when they go wrong!

      Hi matthewpixley!

      I’ll answer it in a maths way…

      168 hours in a week
      I spend 7 hours a day (Monday to Friday) doing science

      That makes 21% of my life science related!

      But I sleep for 33% of the time… oops!
