      I’m loving it yes – and I’ve learnt lots of new things. Yesterday I learnt the smallest muscle is in our inner ear and is called the stapedius and controls the smallest bone stapes. I’ve learnt alkali metals go bang when they meet water. I also learnt I’ve not got a lot of confidence in any science outside my immeadiate area of expertise !

      Yes im really enjoying IMAS, the questions you guys think up are amazing. I have learnt lots of new things about Altzheimers and Osteoperosis and I have had to remember things I haven’t done for ages, like what the most reactive elements are! What do you like/dislike about being part of IMAS?

      It’s brilliant! Very addictive. And I love the science videos that have been posted in answers! How is it going on your side?

      I’m really enjoying it, I especially like the live chats! I have learnt a lot of new science from the other scientists (especially about chemistry and ocean/plant biology).
      I hope you’re having a good time too, keep those questions coming!
