      No I didn’t. I kind of fell into it!

      I was always good at maths, so I did a maths at university. But then I found out that the sort of maths I was interested in was used a lot to study biology. So I ended up training to be a maths/biology scientist mainly because the opportunity was there, and I didn’t know what else to do. But I don’t regret it!

      Nope! I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger.

      Yes, because I’ve always loved puzzles and figuring out how things work. When I was little I wanted to be a paleontologist and study dinosaurs.
