      Hi Nicole!

      Thanks for your question! I think I was about 14 or 15…I have always liked animals and fossils and dinosaurs but then I read a book about twins that made me wonder what it that makes us who we are, I wanted to know how genes work and if only genetics makes you you (and how). So I didn’t really know how it was being a scientist (I didn’t have the opportunity of chatting with any) but I knew I wanted to know more. And here I am now!
