      Well, I haven’t ever invented an object, but I have invented a special equation that scientists now use to find out exactly how big the brains of extinct animals were, which I’m pretty proud of.

      I’ve never invented a thing which you could hold in your hands – only ideas and methods! At the moment I am working on my best invention, which is a way to study diseases in animals and humans in a single analysis. It doesn’t involve any lab work.

      My method involves measuring the number of people and animals with a disease (the disease can pass from the animals to the people), and then analysing them on a map – so I can see whether lots of disease in animals = lots of disease in humans, or if it is more complicated than that! Can you believe no one has ever done this before? I can’t, it seems so obvious!
