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.

I'd missed science and what it was all about because I was too busy trying to think of other things, when I was at school. I was too busy trying to be James Dean.

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

We've only had aircrafts for a hundred years, and yet look at us. So, I've become absolutely fascinated by this strange, bizarre world of airports, air travel and transportation. It's interesting.

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

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

The thing I loved, particularly, was the mystery of science and the idea that science doesn't know all the answers, but it is a process of finding out. It's not like science will give you the right answer and science knows everything. I love the mysteries of it.
