      I’d like to think I’d be playing football for England as we win the world cup!

      More realistically, I’d probably do something creative or would be a teacher. (Actually, part of my job as a lecturer is doing teaching so I am doing this a bit anyway!)

      I’d have liked to be in a successful band and tour the world! But I don’t have any musical talent… I can play about three chords on guitar, I’m not sure that would get me very far! :/ Either that or an artist, I’ve always loved art. Maybe I should combine my love for art and science and start doing portraits of crayfish.

      I also enjoyed languages at school, especially French… I think it’d be cool to be an interpretor or language teacher and to live abroad.

      I would love to be a celebrity chef and own my own restuarant if I am a scientist right now 🙂
      I love cooking AND eating!!! And I think it is nice when people like what I have made them 🙂
      But I am really bad at baking so I will need to practice and get people to test it out haha

      It’s hard to think of something else when you have been doing one thing for such a long time. Most things outside science I like to do, I do in my spare time. They are mostly creative, music and art … maybe one day I will be able to combine them with science.
      One thing I would really like to do is working on a farm in the mountains, and I’m sure I will do this for a while when I finish my degree!
