      Yes… my title is Professor of Chemical Physics… but I also like Chemistry and Maths!

      Yes and no! It really depended on what topic it was…I’ve never been a fan of mechanics and I didn’t like electricity at school and A level, but when I did electricity topics at Uni I really liked them! I’ve always enjoyed learning about space though. I have a Masters in Physics and whilst technically my PhD is in Physics, my work is more like geology and geochemistry (it’s a big mixture of lots of different areas to be honest!) and I’ve always loved geology…if I’d known about it before University I might’ve made an entirely different choice and picked my undergraduate degree in geology
