      As subjects in school? I loved biology and was fascinated by it. The teacher was a real character too and I looked forward to the classes. Not too keen on the dissection aspect (a mussel, earthworm, frog and rabbit from what I remember) as I am squeamish and felt sorry for the animals.
      I didn’t like chemistry and I did little studying for it. I regret that now though as I find it interesting looking back. No idea why I didn’t like it back then!
      As science areas in general, well they say that biology is applied chemistry and chemistry is applied physics. So they’re both physics really…

      Biology is interesting but I didn’t actually study it as a subject at school. I love watching all the natural history programmes on the tv, though.

      I’ll be 100% honest and say that I absolutely hated chemistry at school. Rather annoyingly, I seemed to be very good at it and got good grades without really trying. I didn’t feel it challenged me enough, unlike physics, so I didn’t like it. I’m now married to a chemist, though, and the stuff he does is actually properly interesting!

      Well biology and chemistry are important subjects, but I only studied bio until A-level and chem until GCSE so i dont know what theyre like at higher levels.

      I’ve always been fascinated with the natural world (David Attenborough is the best) and especially with evolution. So many things I’d love to know about if only i had more time!
