      Yes. I’ve wanted to be a scientist since I wanted to do any job. I wanted to work with dinosaurs and sharks though, which didn’t end up happening! There was a small period around the 2005 Ashes where I wanted to be a professional cricketer. You probably weren’t alive when that happened! I am getting old.

      This specific job? Not exactly. But I always wanted to be a scientist in one form or another. When I was younger I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and I fully planned on being Dr Alan Grant from Jurassic Park when I finished university.
