      I find neuroscience (study of the brain) really interesting. But I also think genetics (DNA stuff) is fascinating!

      I’m a chemist by training. My favourite bits of chemistry at uni was theoretical chemistry (looking at the shapes and characteristics of molecules and predicting how they’ll react) and analytical chemistry (looking at how to break things down and see what they are made up of). I’m lucky enough to work as an analytical chemist.

      Either things to do with the brain, like why do we dream, or why do we get deja-vu, or my own research area which is quantum mechanics!

      The most interesting area of science I can think of is using our knowledge of how the brain works to try to build an artificial intelligence.
