      Best invention is difficult as I invent stuff all the time but a lot of it doesn’t work. From a real life perspective I guess I have been involved in the invention on a patent for a new drug which has gone through clinical trials. From a personal perspective there are hundreds of new inventions from my lab each year so it is hard to choose.

      I made a new reaction that used a catalyst to make a new molecule that had never been made before- I don’t know if it’s important, it’s not really ground breaking, but I’m a new scientist and it felt pretty good to me!
