      I talk about this in my profile. But essentially my parents saw that I was starting to find biology interesting at school and they bought me a book from a jumble sale called “Molecular biology and the origin of species: Heterosis, protein polymorphism and animal breeding”. I was about 13- I didn’t really understand any of it but is fascinated me and I decided shortly after that I really wanted to do genetics- which I did as my first degree. And yes, I accept that is a bit weird!!

      Hi Jammyzx,
      I wanted to do something that helped people and was not dull. So, I chose science and medicine because there is NEVER a boring day. Into the unknown just about every day, what could be more exciting than that!? I was never cut out for a desk job.
      Cheers!
      Carmen
