      My favourite subject definitely is biology.

      Hi Hazza99. I am 29 (yesterday!) and my favourite subject in science is also Biology but often they all merge into one!

      Hi, I’m 38 and my favourite is chemistry, but I agree with Harriet, there is a lot of overlap.

      Hi Hazza99,

      I’m 33 (unfortunately neither tomorrow nor yesterday)… My favourite subject is physics – somehow, at its deepest level, all of science ends up being physics… It allows you to start at the very simplest things and build up to the incredibly complex – e.g., you can start by learning about tennis balls and then you can understand how planets travel through space. In physics, you can learn about the smallest things (subatomic particles like quarks and (maybe?) the Higgs boson) all the way to the largest things, well, the universe is probably big enough (cosmology)…

      But that’s just my bias… often the most fun parts of physics research is where it crosses over with biology or chemistry. 😉

      Cheers,
      Nathan.

      Hi hazza99, kenneth98 and brendan999,
      I’m the youngest out of all of the scientists at just 24! My favourite subject in science is definitely biology. It helps us to understand the natural world around us and also within us!
