      I’m inspired by every scientist I work with, everybody works really hard to push science further and try and understand more of the world we live in and everyone makes a great contribution! When I was younger I was inspired by Rosalind Franklin, who was a major part in discovering the structure of DNA. We don’t hear much about her, but we learn about her colleagues (Watson and Crick) because female scientists weren’t seen as equals back then. Knowing this makes me push even harder to keep working in science, because there weren’t always the opportunities for women like there are now.
