      I’ve studied lots of different ones. When I was at school I did all the science subjects, when I did my A-levels I studied physics and biology. At university I studied physics, evolution, animal behaviour, maths, geology, history and philosophy of science. At the end of university I just studied geology but that has lots of different subjects within it like fossils, earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, climate change and others.

      At school I studied biology, chemistry and maths, plus some other subjects at school. When I went to uni I studied medical microbiology – that took four years and covered lots of differenty types of biology and chemistry – things like evolution, physiology, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology.

      I didn’t do A levels, I did an Access to Science when I was 25 or so, then I went to university and did a degree in Biomedical sciences, and that degree covered microbiology, genetics, anatomy and physiology, clinical biochemistry, transfusion science, haematology, pharmacology and very little (ie one afternoon) of my own topic!

      I did my final degree studies in ….immunohistochemistry…wow what a mouthful!

      I did a Masters in Science communication which wasn’t very sciencey at all. It was all about the history of science communication such as cabinets of curiosity, the first museums, how the public want their delivered to be given the them etc
