      I’ve been studying science since 2009-2015, so about 9 years. This year I became a “real” scientist (working instead of studying) in February, so about 9 months!

      I’ve been studying my current area of research for about 5 months, but I’ve been studying science for the last 6 years at least!

      I would say I have been a scientist since about 18 years old, when I did my first experiment by myself, looking at moss on trees!
      I had to plan it all myself, but really I used all the knowledge I had learnt at school!
      When I was younger my favourite question was why? I was getting on my way to be a scientist!

      Professionally, I have been studying science in university for my 7th year now. I have done over 3 years or laboratory research work on five different projects.
      Hopefully by next year I will be a ‘real’ scientist, like Ross,

      However, I like to think I have always been a ‘scientist’, exploring new things and learning from them my experiences.

      We are all born scientists as babies, aren’t we? 😉
