Curiosity. There’s just so much we still don’t know about our world and for me, the bacteria that exists and survives in our environments and food. I actually didn’t know I would end up a scientist, but once I got into research, it was all I wanted to do really.
I always wanted to explore and learn new things. As I went through secondary school before college, I considered this and also asked others questions. However, what sealed the deal was visiting a research centre as part of a school trip. Then, I knew what kind of work I’d like to do and where I’d like to work.
I always liked science, esp. physics and applied maths but with a view to solving tech problems coming up with new tech ideas to solve problems, e.g. in my job trying to make batteries last longer or eliminate them completely using light, heat or vibrations all around us instead.
