      Hi!

      No, I wasn’t the only one.

      My grandfather was and entomologist (a researcher studying insects), my sister is studying biotechnology at university, and one of my cousins is an assistant professor in US, researching how nanoparticles can be used for the detection of diseases.

      Hi Lou 🙂

      My dad was a physics teacher. In fact he taught me my Maths and Further Maths A Levels at home.

      My older brother is a Pharmacist.

      My father and my brother love maths as I do. My mother is a university professor but in economics ( a subject I don’t like really).
      So yes, there is interest for science in my family, but I am the only one who undertake this career in natural sciences.

      I am the only one, though my sister is a doctor in leeds. That is kind of science ….. Just don’t tell her I said that
