commented on 26 Mar 2010: OK I promised two more if I survived the vote.
(1) is the thing I mentioned before (see above) and was a practical thing that COULD be done.
The second two are more like dreams!
(2) For society to stop under-valuing people that are important! I don’t just mean in terms of paying them money, but in terms of the value we put on what they do.
Doctors and surgeons save lives it is true, and scientists like me and Chris help them by finding out new stuff. But sewage workers save more lives than doctors, surgeons, and scientists put together! If the sewage sytem failed people would die in millions.
(3) World peace! – OK I sound like a Miss World contestant now but I am not ashamed!

Hi again!
We all had a stab at just changing one thing a week ago:
http://helium.imascientist.org.uk/2010/03/if-you-had-a-chance-to-change-the-world-how-would-you-change-it/
So now I have to think of two more? Hmmm!
I will get back to you if I survive the vote!

Ok – really tough (but good) question. I will try and keep them science oriented and keep clear of my own dreams (see my profile). So no wishing for everyone else to be rubbish at football so I can play for England in the world cup!
1 A cure for malaria. Let’s remove the blight that stops Africa developing
2 For the public (and media) to have a balanced view of the world and science – an end to extremism except in dreaming of making the world a better place to be
3 For people to be happy and work hard without requiring the reward of lots of money – leading to a more equal society
OH MY GOD – I have just read what I have written. I sound like a contestant on Miss World. Perhaps I should have added “World Peace” as well…
