      It would be cool to have my own huge telescope to be able to look at whatever things in space I thought were the most interesting 🙂

      To be honest, it would have to be a computer. With my computer I can measure the images sent back from telescopes in space and around the world, and continue my research.

      They are really quite simple but I couldn’t do anything without my trusty pipettes! They’re just the handheld devices used to dispense liquids but I have to use them every day and they can measure liquids accurately down to 0.1 microlitre! That’s1/10,000th of a millilitre!

      My laptop is probably the most important piece of equipment I use – I can use it to find things out, to read about what other scientists are doing, and to communicate with people. In fact I’m using it right now to communicate with you!
