      Hey putadonkonit,
      I love talking to people about my work, and I think this is a really great scheme to get students your age interested and involved in science. Science is so important, to everyone, not just scientists, it is all around us and impacts in just about everything we do. It’s also great for us, because the questions that you guys are all asking are really making us think about our work and what we do, so we are also learning!!

      I also think that some people thnk that scientists are all geniuses, who are a little bit odd and boil things up in test tubes all day, so it’s great to be able to show that we are all just normal people.

      Hi putadonkonit,
      I did this cos it’s great fun to interact with you guys and it’s cool to be able to talk about our research! It’d be really cool to be able to win and make a fun documentary of young scientists and show people how much fun you can have and how they can make a real impact on our fellow humans!

      I wanted to do I’m a Scientist because I love doing outreach work and telling people about science – and also because I was asked, which was rather flattering!
