      Hi itsnaomi!

      It’s Sarah! Yes I do! I do lots of different experiments in my lab, and I wouldn’t want to do experiments that aren’t useful, because that would feel like a bit of a waste of time and money. So I’ve worked on all different things from helping heal brain cancer to studying how plants can be grown with less artificial fertilisers so we can grow better food.

      🙂 Sarah

      Hiya itsnaomi – yes I do. My research is what you call basic reserach so its increasing our understanding, but its always my hope that with the increased understanding others are able to talk what we learn and develop cures that can be used in humans.
