I was always sort of interested in it, but never good. I was quite bad a chemistry and physics, but quite liked biology. I think if I had paid attention more, I would have been better at it in school, but i still made it 🙂

I think I wasn’t aware of it very much in primary school. But later on, it slowly grew on me and I didn’t even realise. I have found my potential in science much later in life. This is one of the reasons that I want to talk with young people about STEM subjects. I would like to provide the best information I can about STEM so young students can realise their potential and whether science is for them.

Yes, I was interested in science from a young age. A lot of my family were biologists, when I had the choice I chose not to do biology but now use it as part of my job.

Mark commented on :
I was always interested in science – I had a chemistry set when young and usually just mixed things together until they fizzed!

I don’t actually recall any science in primary school. I suppose it must have been there. My interest was driven more by science on TV. There seemed to be much more of it in the early evening and prime-time TV slots directed either at children or at a general audience on the very small number of channels than there is now, where science often seems relegated to secondary or specialist channels. At school, science only really started to grab me in secondary school when the division into Biology, Chemistry and Physics kicked in and the subjects started to make more consistent sense about how the world worked.

When I was in primary and secondary school, I watched a lot of TV shows about dinosaurs and space, which made me want to learn more. I only became more seriously interested in secondary school and a-levels, when I started to see how science helped to explain how the world worked!
