      Yes. I’m interested in (and read blogs on) volcanoes, medicine and sports medicine (how can I run faster!), brain science… In fact most of New Scientist is pretty interesting.

      I tend to leave science when I leave work and read other things (I like keeping up with the News, world politics is interesting!) But medical science is super useful, as is renewable energy. If you’re looking for careers, these things will be really good to study.

      Yes very much, I’m always annoying my friends who are other types of scientists about what they do! I guess what I really like is how each science topic overlaps and has something in common with the other topics. At the end of the day – we’re all trying to find out about how everything fits together in the universe, but we have to each concentrate on one thing and then team up to see how it fits.

      Oh, lots! I love cosmology (and some astrophysics too), medicine, and brain science – the way people’s brains work and in particular how people learn is really fascinating to me.

      Yes. While I’m a chemist, I work in the field of nanotechnology so I have a very strong interest in physics, biology, medicine and electrical engineering as well. I also have very strong amateur interests in the brain and information theory. To be honest, apart from a few areas of physics I’m fascinated by pretty much everything.
