      I wanted to be a fossil hunter! When I went to secondary school I still liked science, but didn’t really think about becoming a scientist until the end. We didn’t have anything like “I’m a Scientist” when I was at school, so I never got to talk to a real scientist, so I didn’t really understand what scientists did.

      I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I was in primary school, and it wasn’t until secondary school that I began to think about being a scientist because that was when I found out about lots of different types of science and became fascinated by astronomy.
