      I did love science at school all the way through. I also loved maths as well but I also enjoyed English and music.
      I was really into music and almost decided to study it at university.
      I did love a lot of school and all of these were my favourite subjects really.

      Is that a cop-out answer?

      I loved English Literature and Geography- not your typical sciences! But my love of English has actually really helped with my scientific career, because to be a good scientist you need to be able to write about your research well, and communicate it to the public in a way everyone can understand.
