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.

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

People think of science like somehow that's the answer, and that it's all about right answers, but science is a lens that we look at the world through.

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

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

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.

When I was acting, as a hobby, I would devour popular science books and keep up-to-date about what was going on in the science community. And then, suddenly my hobby became my job. I didn't one day say, "I'm not acting. I'm now going to be a science person."
