      Hi Mike, I assume that was addressed to me – hope I’m not wrong?!

      Tanks for your question. I think I probably always knew that I would want to do something scientific… i always loved trying to understand how things worked, I loved to take things apart and see what was inside, and I loved building things with lego. As I got older I realised that the most incredible thing we know of in the universe is the brain and so I decided I wanted to study how the brain works (as well as doing medicine, because each sick patient on the intensive care is a bit like a physiology experiment where you try to change things to help make the person get better). Are you more interested in biology, engineering or physics and chemistry?
