      Yes, I have read a number of profiles and in fact I have managed to change my project accordingly after reading some of the papers other people have wrote and published.

      Absolutely! I’ve learnt so much during this process from the other scientists but also from students like you! I’m so pleased to see that so many of you have done some research and reading for your questions and some of them I’ve had to do my own research too! I hope this event has opened everyone’s minds up to at least one part of science that they’d never thought of before.

      I would say that my mind has always been open to new scientific ideas; some ideas don’t have the necessary support though, or evidence to justify them. That’s not to say evidence will never rise, but we can explore anything with the right evidence!
