      I did science at school for my GCSEs, and science for my A-levels, and then did my degree in Biology at University. After that i went on to do my PhD (that’s a higher degree which is called a Doctor of Philosophy) and started working in research in a University and in the NHS. That’s what I have done ever since 🙂

      Similar to Kelly, I studied science throughout high school then at college and finally at university where I majored in Chemistry. However, I didn’t do a PhD as I wanted to start working in the real world to see what it was like. My current job allows me to test and investigate flavours before going into final products that you may see in the supermarkets for example.
