I've found the thing in life that I adore, which is working in science television. It's just a big adventure, really.

I've always been a bit of a dreamer. I've always loved to look and seek, and explore and find out.

I've never felt scared of flight, ever. It's really weird. I don't know. They stick a gin and tonic in your hands and I just think, "Life is good!"

I'm not an academic, but I'm someone who has a great passion for science and wants to convey the idea that science is for everyone.

There is so much wonder and joy in science, about understanding how the world works and why the world is the way it is. It's not just for academics. It is a thing that's available to everyone.

If you go through life and actually get to find out the thing you want to do, you're very lucky.
