      My biggest aim is to help to discover a new medicine, it would be amazing to be able to help people that way. Even if it is just a small number of people, that would be fantastic. 🙂

      To save the world!! Seriously though, the whole reason that I became a climate scientist was because global warming is the most serious and dangerous threat to our future, and I felt could but not help to prevent it from happen. So in any small way, even by taking part in things like ‘Im a scientist’ where I can help you guys to think about climate change, I have achieved something.

      To make a difference to people through my work. Specifically, I want to help people understand the biological world – especially cells and development – and to be able to appreciate and use this knowledge for improving medicine and for sheer delight in the beauty of nature.

      I want to learn a lot about children and how we grow up to be adults. I don’t know if I will ever make a world-changing effect, but my aim is to reach as many people as I can and help them grow up as good and happy as they can. My motto is that every positive effect you can have on other people is worth the effort. 🙂
