Hi everyone

This is my first ever blog so please forgive me if I haven't got the blogging techniques right the first time. I guess I always wanted to start up a blog but my problem has always been on what to write, whether people would take notice and be interested enough to read. This coupled with the problem that I don't actually know what subject I want to write. Well ladies and Gentlemen, I have now decided to write about my journey into science.

Science is something I have always felt very passionately about ever since I was a child. The mystery of how things work, why is it that if you put water in the freezer, it turns to ice. What is in the center of Earth? I was not only fascinated by finding solutions to science problems in school, but I was also quite obsessed and admired the history of science. Great men and women have influenced the world through their science discoveries. This was something that greatly impacted upon my decision to study sciences at Alevel and Biochemistry for my undergraduate degree. Nowadays, I am a PhD student working on understanding the important biological networks and proteins that are involved in cancer.

In the next few blogs, I will describe my journey from being a clueless 16 year old into doing a PhD in Biological Structure and Biophysics to aid the development of new anti-cancer treatments.

Thanks to those who have read my first ever blog.
More to come...

Best wishes

P.S. oh and if you were looking for an answer to what is in the center of Earth? We still don't quite know the answer to that. The best answer so far is that the inner core of earth is made mostly of Iron and it is about two-thirds the size of the Moon.
