It is a year to the day since the release of my film, “I’m a Scientist<\/a>“, in which six different scientists talk openly about their lives in the laboratory and what makes them tick. The aim of the film is very much to cut through the myth that all scientists are heroes and geniuses.<\/p>\n

To mark this first anniversary and to make the film more useful in the classroom, I have split it into ten bite-sized chunks<\/a>. Apart from the introduction and closing credits, there are eight short segments in which the scientists interviewed give their answers to a specific question, such as: How did you get interested in science? Do you have a Nobel Prize? What does it take to make a good scientist? And, is science fun?<\/p>\n
