      Hmm… this might take a while to calculate!

      I’ve always been interested in science but I started doing JUST science subjects at school when I did my A-levels in physics, chemistry and maths for 2 years. I then narrowed it down to just physics when I went to university and did that for 4 years. Then finally I’ve been doing my current work for about 2 years. So all in all that’s roughly 8 years! Eek that’s a long time!

      Ooh, yeah I think I’m about the same – maybe 8 or 9 years now (how crazy!)
      I did mostly science for my A Levels (chemistry and biology) for 2 years, then went to University and studied chemistry. So that’s another 4 years. And I’ve been doing my PhD in chemistry for 3 years. Those 9 years have gone so quickly!

      I was always keen on science from an early age though, my parents gave me a chemistry set for my 7th birthday and I used to sit there making up my own experiments all day long and write all my results down in my little book!

      I have started with science for my A level in 1999 (chemistry,physics and maths) and then at the university I did a degree in Biotechnology.
      During the time at the uni I became passionate about Biophysics and therefore I chose crystallography for Master and PhD.
      This makes already a total of 14 years !

      I also started with science A-Levels in 2002.

      I then studied for a undergraduate degree in Geological Sciences in 2004.

      In 2010 I did a masters in Geochemistry.

      2012 I started my PhD in Planetary Scinces.

      So 11 years! Wow. I never realised it was so long!
