Yes 🙂 For example my work on climate change and food security should help to ensure that people have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. Using our computer models we can predict how crop growth might be affected by climate change. This could then help governments and policy makers to be able to make decisions on what crops to grow or where to grow them.

It changes the world of my patients forsure! We closely observe each baby while it is still inside it’s mom to make sure it is happy inside and growing well. I also work with a lot of moms and dads who unfortunately can’t have babies and try and find an answer to why that is so and work towards trying to help them have a baby through a process called IVF.

Yes! Lots of the scientific research I do helps inform the government or businesses how they deal with nuclear materials, which are often going to be around for hundreds of years so things I do has long-lasting impact.
I’ve also been involved in doing several things with robots and drones for the first time, such as flying a mapping drone over Sellafield (a nuclear site in Cumbria).
