Ideally because you think I am a great scientist and you want to vote for me š
But if you want to know what I would do with the money if I were to win the vote: I would like to help the marine mammal rescue and stranding teams hold an outreach event to get the public more aware of how to react when seeing a stranded animal, and why reporting it is really imporant. They alreafy hold an annual event in Inverness, but I would like to extend the reach of the event and get more people invloved.

You should vote for whichever scientist you think gave you the best experience! Think about who did the best job of answering and explaining, who inspired you to think about things in new ways, or who helped you understand things you didn’t before. That might be about science, life, or your future. That’s the person you should vote for!
(And if that’s me, that’s great! But if it isn’t, then the person who wins deserves to be recognised for the good work they’ve done.)

The scientist who best answered your questions and inspired you should get your vote, whoever that is! We’re here to help you understand what it’s like to be a scientist, how you can become one too (if that’s what you want to do!), and to show you that we’re just normal people too.
If I were to win the vote, I would use the money to run outreach events for the public, showcasing technologies that we use to grow plants in space and how these technologies and the things we’ve learned along the way can help us solve food security challenges on Earth. My goal is to use the excitement of space exploration as a gateway to tackle real issues we face in the world today.

Iām not really here for votes to be honest. I just think showing young people the range of exciting jobs involving science is a good thing to do. I certainly had no idea what I could end up doing if I did a science degree

I don’t believe in voting system due to Arrow’s impossibility theorem – there is fundamental flaw in this whole voting thing. However, if you want to vote for someone – make sure that this is your and only your choice, and you are using all the data you have to support it. It’s easy to vote for someone – it’s hard to vote for yourself. Make the right choices.
