      I am doing it for fun; and not for wining the competition. However, If I win I will make an interactive chemistry website where you all can take part to make it. You can ask questions, you can upload videos etc. It will be fun learning chemistry.

      I would like to make people more familiar with natural products cehmistry and suing them as medicines. It is a fairly new field of reserach and theerfore many people are not aware of its gerat potentials! Aslo, it’s really cool working on sponges, corals and seaweeds!

      I don’t think I should win… I’m here simply as this is something fun to do and encourages students at school to think about science and scientific careers.

      I’m not really here to win, in fact when I signed up I didn’t know there was even a competition, it’s just an added bonus if I do! I signed up because I wanted to talk about how cool chemistry is and hopefully answer your questions well. If I do win I’d like to use the money to organise school trips for students to come and visit St Andrews and look round our laboratories to see what scientists really do all day!

      It would be great to raise the profile of neglected and tropical diseases! But, I think this whole thing is more about the chats and answering all of your questions. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m just enjoying taking part!
