Yes, fun.
We also don’t get a lot of chances to talk to kids in school – all my students are 18+, and my son is under 2…
Yet your minds are the most flexible and adaptable to change and new ideas. That’s what science is all about – you have to be OK with playing with stuff and thinking about things in new ways. So maybe we’re hoping we’ll learn something from you guys.
I did it because it sounded like fun and because I genuinely like talking to people about science. I’d like to be a science communicator, so this is what I might do as a job! Also, in high school, I’d never met anyone who described them-self as a ‘Scientist’. Talking to people who have a particular job helps you to see how you could do that too, or if it’s something you want to do. Maybe this will get some of you interested in being scientists and you can work on solving the world’s problems in a few years time.
I also think it’s a good idea to get involved in as many things that interest you as you can; it gives you all these new opportunities and a chance to meet a lot of different people.
I have been watching the UK version of I’m a Scientist, Get Me Out of Here for a year now wishing I could get involved because everyone was having so much fun. When I heard that there was an Australian version, I signed up straight away.
I also wanted to be able to show you guys that even though I’m a scientist, I’m a person too. I was extremely lucky that when I went to school, I had the chance to speak with scientists and the biggest thing I remember was that they were all regular people. So besides having fun, I want to be able to show you all that I’m a regular person who just happens to work with science.
I love science and love sharing that with others. That’s what this competition is really about. It is not winning or losing or about the prize (though that’s nice too). The real prize here is to know a bit more about science and the people who do science.
I did it totally for the money. All that sweet, sweet cash!
Just kidding! While I love doing science for myself, I find it more rewarding to encourage young people’s curiosity about the world around them.
Science is all about gathering information and making logical conclusions. This process is really important not just for being a scientist but also for being a responsible adult. When you turn 18, you will be able to vote and while lots of people have different opinions, you should try to keep an open mind and base your decisions on the evidence. That’s what we scientists do for a job.
I joined this competition and I teach science because I’d really like to see the next generation of Australians be able to make important decisions based on evidence, not just what other people want you to think.
Yes, fun.
