oliveI’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Disease Zone. It has scientists studying theĀ causes and processes ofĀ illness . Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
That’s not the kind of work I do. I’m an evolutionary biologist, which means that I ask questions about how things have evolved or how they’re evolving now. When I work on viruses, I’m asking questions like ‘how do viruses mutate’? Finding cures for viruses is really important work, and I hope that the work I do will help those people who *are* looking for cures, but I’m one step back from that.
