      Hi @olimia. I think all of the 5 scientists work in different topics, even though all of us make us of spectroscopic techniques. My research I think it is very appealing for most of you because it makes possible to understand how you can use spectroscopy and science to try and stop such a big problem as terrorist attacks and the use of explosives. Also, I dedicate part of my time to engaging young generations into choosing science related career options by making school visits to talk about science in general and spectroscopy in particular. Winning this competition would be a huge opportunity to keep organising such activities

      @olimia- it’s unfortunate that I have got evicted! I wish I could have spent more time in the live chats-but unfortunately with my job I have been very busy too- This week alone I visited 3 schools snd delivered 3 activities promoting the chemistry in forensic science…had I won I would have spent the money on making a documentary about the Science in CSI…so doing more of what I enjoy..engaging everyone into the application of chemistry.
