Hi, thank you for your question. I don’t have a favorite and I really appreciate the hard work of scientists in all those fields. For example, physicists can tell us about reality and how the universe works, applied chemists make vital medications and industrial processes I depend on, and biologists help tell me essential things about the natural world, animals and my own body. On top of all this lots of scientists do vital work at the crossroads of all these areas (for example here in York lots of physicists run our brain scanners!). In other words, to me, there is only ‘science’ and it is a team effort. Comparing the relative importance of all these things is an impossible task for me and I, for one, want to live in a world with as much science in it as possible!

Though obviously, I can appreciate the value of chemistry and the incredible discoveries physics has brought, I’m a biology fan all the way. Biology baby!

My favourite was biology throughout school and university. In fact, my psychology degree was over 50% biology. In particular, I have always been fascinated with evolution and ecology, and I still use it in my work today. https://binged.it/2RHpWzw

As I said in my bio, I have always already in high school been extremely fond of chemistry – I loved the logic in there! In contrast, I very much disliked at the same time biology and especially neuroscience, how funny is that! it is only when I started studying psychology and i understood the importance of processes occuring at the level of the brain in supporting our explanations of attention, learning, memory and behaviour in general – that’s when I fell in love with neuroscience!
