      If I was being realistic I would probably be an accountant as I like maths and think its a useful job. If I can dream a little I would love to be a science TV presenter like David Attenborough! It sounds like fun going around and learning about the latest science.

      That’s a tricky question! I already do some work as a graphic designer so I suppose I’d do that. I’d love it if I could make music a full time job though!

      I would maybe do something in theatre – I always really enjoyed acting and singing growing upA

      A writer! I always had a very vivid imagination and I love telling stories (even to talk about science!). I still want to do that though, hoping that one day I will write my own children’s science book!

      I would love to do photography as a job, but I am no way near good enough so shall keep it as my hobby for now!

      I’d be a painter! I’ve always loved painting, and before studying biology I had considered going to the Academy of Arts in Rome

      That’s really hard… I have wanted to be many different things when growing up but I think now I would probably want to be a farm vet if I wasn’t a scientist as I love animals and I grew up in the countryside 🙂

      Probably a teacher 🙂 teachers are the best and they have a similar job to me

      Good question! I think it would be something hands on. Probably something sporty – a snowboard instructor maybe. Or a carpenter. I really liked working with wood at school. The skills of a carpenter are a great mix of art and science: the angles and puzzle solving needed to build something as well as creating something useful which looks and feels good.

      I was applying to complete a Fine Art degree at University when I last minute switched to Physics! So maybe I would have pursued painting (:

      Otherwise I think I may have followed my love of animals and become a dog groomer or something in animal rescue!

      I really enjoy doing martial arts and yoga in my free time so something to do with those I imagine. Teaching yoga would be an amazing job, however quite distanced from what I do currently.

      I would probably be a writer (maybe a medical writer) or something completely different, like an interior designer!
