      Hello Jammy,

      Thank you for your question. I think history – I find it fascinating.

      Everything I research in is founded on previous research. Through the Maths Geneaology project I can trace my research through my PhD supervisor, Professor Kevin Warwick (first human cyborg), back through his PhD supervisor, the late Professor John Westcott a co-member of the Ratio Club with codebreaker Alan Turing, back in time to Leonardo Da Vinci the 15th-16th century artist, engineer and scientist. Check it here, it’s fun:

      Great question!

      One thing I’ve wanted to do for years is to understand the Northern Lights, and be able to see them live! I have friends who get to study them, and visit very cold places such as Svalbard, where they have to learn how to protect themselves from polar bears and survive in extremely cold climates.

      For that reason, I would study space science, and learn more about what causes these bright lights in the sky and how they change over time!

      Hmmm…

      I think I would do law – a little different but I like the organisation and attention to detail that law has to offer.
