What’s your favourite word?

I was going to say something like polyvinylrododospagaspamomo, but I’d have to say faith is one of my favourite words. It’s faith that gives you hope and strength. With a strong belief in yourself and others you can achieve great things in life.

If you could be anyone in the world today, who would it be?

I wouldn’t want to be anyone other than myself… but if I had to I think I would want to be Peter Griffin from Family Guy - he is so funny.

How many members of Take That can you name?

Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Howard, Victoria Beckham and Gary Barlow.

If you could meet any scientist in history, who would it be?

Charles Darwin – he brought the revolution to evolution.

What’s your favourite object in the Science Museum? 

The Enigma machine in the Telecommunication Gallery - it helped the Allies decipher and uncrack secret codes from their enemies in World War 2 .

What’s the best thing about your job?

Meeting so many interesting people and being able to travel around the UK. Working alongside a great team and being able to share the greatness that is Launchpad and the Science Museum. I think also being able to play with a Tesla coil which is used to generate very high voltage creating massive lightning bolts is quite cool.

Give us a science fact that will make us say “hmm”

The trickiest tongue twister in the English language is apparently "Sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick". Give it a try and see for yourself.
