      not famous to the general public.

      but famous amoung scientists… kind of.

      I invented a special method for processing the data from the mass spec so we could do our chromosome experiments (to discover which are the chromosomal proteins) and this was published in a journal called “Cell”, which is very famous to scientists.

      No not famous yet. Im still very much learning, I am very much at the beginning of my science career so just about to start putting research papers (how we tell other people about our research) out into the public. I probably will never be famous in the general public but would like to think I could be a little famous in my field- well known and well liked would be nice too.

      Unfortunately no. Hopefully one day I can invent a really really cool app to help people sleep better. Maybe I can get lots of people to help me out so we can work out how each person sleeps. Then I can do personalised plans of how to make people sleep a lot better!! I would love to do that! I would need lots of people to help me with my research though!

      No, I haven’t 🙂 But you know fame always comes later:) So, all the research we have done might become super important in the future! Our papers sort of give us fame amon our peers but not in the public eye.

      Anyways, let’s hope we will get the Nobel Prize before we leave this world and be famous 🙂
