      Dead – Marie Curie. For no other reason than to pick her brain. I use radioactive isotopes for some of my work so she could definitely educate me!

      Alive – Robert Langer. He is like THE man in drug delivery. He works in MIT. I wouldn’t mind working for him some day 😛

      If I could go back in time I would work with a lady called Rose-Marie Pangborn. She was one of the founders of Sensory science. She worked at the University of California, Davis, and she is so famous in the field that there is a global conference (a big meeting where scientists get together and talk about their work) held every 2 years that is named after her! It would be amazing to have met her.

      Great question! If Craig Venter got involved in my research he would probably accelerate my progress!
