      I have to say the PET that my company makes. Very durable, fully recyclable.
      Orange.
      Maths, English, French, Physics, Chemistry, History, Graphic Communication, Art, Music
      I was reading a book about Helium. I couldn’t put it down.
      Chess is my biggest hobby, I play quite a lot
      I mostly work on my own. I work with different people around the world depending on the problem they have.

      Favourite plastic would have to be PET as its what my research looks at
      Favourite colour is turquoise
      GSCEs: all the core subjects (triple science) + history, geography, art & spanish
      I could tell you a science joke, but all the good ones Argon
      I like running, yoga, socialising, being in nature … lots of things
      And I work with others in my lab but I’m the only one working on my specific research – so I do all my own experiments but chat with others around me

      My favourite plastics would be some of our CHAMPION plastics because they are bio-based and have interesting biodeg properties (https://www.champion-project.eu/).
      Fave colour is green.
      I studied music, spanish, food tech and triple science on top of the core subjects.
      Science joke: Why is beryllium and gold so pretty? Because it is Be-Au-tiful
      My hobbies include basketball, football, tennis and cooking
      And I work with lots of different people in my group! It is so important to work with people to come up with new ideas
