      My favourite is chemistry, and my reasons really go back to school – I felt like in chemistry I could work out the answers, while in biology I just had to memorise them, and physics was too much maths…

      I’m a Geologist, so I take all three equally into account.

      Biology, it’s a lot more relatable, but has enough complexity to it that it always keeps us guessing. Chemistry I thought was a bit too rigid and formulaic, and I can’t get my head around the equations in physics

    My favorite is biology, and probably biochemistry – I struggle with inorganic chemistry (flashbacks to the Haber Process for A level exam!) and I wasn’t a big fan of forces in Physics because I’m more of a pure maths than applied maths fan. I’ve managed to get my head around physics for imaging within being a vet (understanding how to interpret X Rays, Ultrasound, MRI pictures etc) but not a natural physic person….

    I like all 3 but if I had to pick, my favourite is Biology, then Chemistry then Physics. But I remember Chemistry had the best experiments in school!
