        Haha, that’s very flattering, thanks! Science is a very big field, and I certainly wouldn’t say I am good at ALL of the science. But I have my favourite disciplines (a weird mix of Earth Sciences and Politics) and throughout my teens I kept reading about them loads so I would understand better and better how the world works. It takes a lot of work but also natural curiosity and I definitely recommend pursuing what you like the most ( I saw from your profile that you like experiments. Did you know that if you want to be a good scientist you need to design experiments which will give the same results each time you try them? Repeating the same experiment takes a lot of work but it will definitely make you a top researcher!)

        I think because I love it so much and enjoy what I do, makes me want to get the best out of it. It is about having a passion for what you love that makes you good at it.
