      Hello!
      I’d love to win the money just so that I could continue doing what I love, which is talking about my work and getting other people enthusiastic about science and hopefully get them to understand stem cells a bit better. Coming out to schools is a really fun part of my work and the money would let me do much more of that!

      Because I’m awesome of course!
      And also because I have a really fun event planned that I would like to use the money from. And I want to encourage other people I work with to take part – and the thought of getting some money will be a good incentive!

      Hi Amina,
      I love teaching people and getting non-scientists interested in what we do. I believe it’s very important to engage young people in particular because that’s how I got excited about science, and young people have all sorts of crazy ideas that really drive science forwards, and we need you guys! It’s so important to make science fun, so my plan, if I win, is to make a fun documentary to show people what young scientists get up to and what a massive impact they make on society. Hopefully that’d help spread the word!
