      Well I did have a choice really. I got to choose which subjects I did at school and then chose when I went to uni and the same for my PhD. The best description of me is a chemical physisist. I do a bit of everything but most of it lies between chemistry and physics.

      @miamimi Finally! An easy question! I want to be a volcanologist when I (eventually) grow up 🙂

      I reckon I am the scientist I want to be…almost. I went to Uni as a physicist, then became a theoretical physicist (doing quantum stuff) and then I decided that I like maths better. So now I do physics which require cool maths…and that is what I want to keep doing.

      haha… definitely a Neuroscientist!!! 😀 I think you will see that all scientist are very passionate about the subject they have specialised in, so in reality all of science is cool but we can’t study it all!

      I did have a choice, and I chose to become a biological anthropologist!!!
