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.

I wasn't naturally a scientist, but I was always fascinated by how the world worked and why things were the way they were.

Everything that we know now will be changed in 10 years time.

In my lifetime, the population of the world has doubled.

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

At the heart of science is experimentation. Science doesn't care what you think. What's important is experimenting and actually working stuff out.

I was very much the laymen, trying to find stuff out because I'm curious about the world.
