      Hi Lily!

      If i’m honest, I keep forgetting that there is prize money. I am mainly doing this to help students out because I never really had anything like this when I was at school and I had no clue what I wanted to do as a career.

      If I won the money, I would probably donate it to the Public Engagement Committee in our work. They have been helping us reach out to pupils and students and to get more people into science. I was recently at a school showing students what a mouse brain looks like under a microscope! It was awesome. This was all organised by the Public Engagement Committee and I would love to keep working with them to give students like you, more information into what a researcher and science, in general, is all about! 🙂

      Thanks for the question!
