        I think the best thing about being a scientist is that you’re always learning new things and there are no real limits to what you can learn about if you are interested in something (except for time, time is definitely a limiting factor for scientists!).

        Hey Mooey and Ice-cream lady!

        The best thing about being a scientist is getting to carry out experiments and discovering new and interesting things. As well as experiments I think the best thing about being a scientist is being able to show people how cool science is by showing them cool and crazy demonstrations! For example I can use a lemon to power a small LED light.. it’s a great party trick!

        Hi Mooey and Ice-cream lady!

        The Hands down bestest thing about being a scientist – is getting to discover new things – being the first person in the world to seen something happen, and to know why its happening! The next best thing is getting to share it, travelling the world talking to other scientists and the public about the discoveries you’ve made -it gives you loads of ideas for new reactions to try!

        I wouldn’t want to change my job for anything in the world – being a scientist is AWESOME!!!!!!!

        Hope this helps answer your question? let me know if you want to know more 🙂
