  You know what, I had to look up the definition of a scientist because I couldn’t quite decide at what point I could claim to be a scientist! According to Wikipedia, I have been a scientist for 23 years!

  I’ve been learning about science since I was 12 at school. I’d say your a scientist once you start doing experiments that you have thought up, which for me was my final year of Uni, 2007, aged 20. So that makes me a scientist for 6 years.

  Same as Niall really, my final year of uni was when I really started doing my own experiments, also in 2007 so 6 years.

  Same as Niall and Emma, that makes us three in the same year, cool!
