I’m a Scientist kicked off today with scientists answering lots of great questions queued up by students over the last few weeks.

Scientists started with some of the really important questions, like…
“How many hobnobs and cups of tea do you could have in one sitting?” ”
is there scientific proof that having a moustache makes you more attractive?”
and
“Do cats actually like their owners?“.

Students then asked more questions including..
“do you think cells can kill themselves?” or
“is it possible to clone a person”
and the tough decision of
“If you were the last thousand of people on earth and you had to make a desicion between saving the knowledge of mankind, setting up a new goverment or finding food and shelter which one would you chosse“.

The two common themes that have appeared today are cats and dolphins, unsuprisingly in the Animal Behaviour Zone as Kevin works on cats and Valeria on dolpins.

It’s been a quiet day for live chats, although the 2 live chats in the Genes and Strontium zones covered topics from how the scientists got into science to cells and the human body, including how many cells were in a drop of blood and what the most interesting cell was.

There are lots more live chats booked for the rest of the week, from 5 tomorrow to 13 on Friday.

Scientists are getting into the swing of things and have been tweeting about taking part.

We can’t wait to see the questions, answer and live chats tomorrow!
