• Question: Is playdough the only thing you'd buy if you won? Also would you suggest us becoming scientists when we are older and why? :-)

      Good evening,
      Many thanks for your question, I enjoy receiving them very much.
      You may be surprised to find that I would like to buy playdough with my winning as it is not something associated with science, but it can be a fantastic tool to teach science if used correctly. I have great plans for the playdough, it is the most economical way to spend the money with the best value for money and the greatest reward.

      Science is a very rewarding career but it is extremely hard work and much of your career will depend on luck, and may not be in your control. I would advise that you research very carefully before you choose to become a scientist; make sure you talk to many scientists beforehand.

      If luck is on your side, and you work on a good science project; going to work is like going to play. It is like a huge, long detective game.

      I cannot advise you whether to become a scientist or not, but if you are born a scientist, you will know. Scientists always questions so many things, they can’t help themselves but to ask WHY and HOW, even when it eats up all their time and brain power.

      I hope I have answered your question. Please keep asking, it is the best way to learn.

      Loan
