      I’d love to be a science presenter! It’d be so much fun presenting science documentaries on TV and helping members of the public to learn more about different topics 🙂 As well as working in research I also work in science communication (where you write articles, present demonstrations, give talks etc to help people learn more about science) as a volunteer at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and as a STEM Ambassador for STEM Learning. So, if I didn’t do research, I would do more science communication work 🙂

      Like Kathryn, I think I would love to be in science communications as I really enjoy talking about science with different audiences! I also think I would enjoy science policy and strategy making for government.
