      I’m really interested in forensic science too. That’s studying crimes scenes, murders etc. I did I short course in it when I was at Uni and very nearly chose to study it more after my degree but I chose a different subject instead. I don’t think I could’ve dealt with seeing real life murder scenes and things like that….I prefer just watching CSI on tv instead!

      Ahh Jennifer forensic science is really quite interesting I agree with that. I did a course when I was at uni as well!

      I’d quite like to work with NASA! I think Space sounds pretty exciting!

      I have always been interested in the heart and really enjoyed learning about it at university so I would probably like to work in that field

      Great question. I’d guess we all really love our current field but I’d be really tempted to look at microbes, so bacteria. We can’t grow most of them so it’s really hard to know what they’re doing. The nice thing is that in science you’re not always stuck in one field, so if you do want to change, there’s a chance to!
