      I really wanted to join a research group in the European Space Agency but, to do that, you need to have a PhD! So I decided to go back to university, become a scientist and get the qualifications I need!

      Hmmm – well curiosity is essential. And determination. My girlfriend. Good friends. And belief in yourself because on your way you might encounter negative people who say you can’t do things, or put you down (I have encountered many people like this) but, at the risk of sounding ike Barack Obama (!), yes you can do it! If you want to be a scientist just do it! You can. 😉
