      Almost every day! Part of the job of a scientists is to learn more and more about the universe every day. I learn new things from my own research and from reading about other scientists’ research. A very exciting example is that on Monday a group of scientists announced that they had discovered gravitational waves from the Big Bang!

      Yes, all the time! When you’re a scientist you’re always finding out new things, by talking to other scientists or reading things they have written. But the best bit is when you discover something new yourself, then you go and tell all the other scientists!
