We have absolutely NO wall posts in our zone! It is a shame – come on guys! So I have decided to start it of myself 🙂
I have answered a few questions about how difficult it is to be a scientist, what grades you need and so on. Science is more than just work and jobs but I know how important these things are.
There are LOTS of jobs for people with scientific qualifications at all levels – not just research at universities. Lots of commercial companies do their own research and development. There are jobs in health, the police, journalism, education, international aid organizations, and many more.
All these areas need scientifically minded people to learn new skills and solve problems. As a nation there is a shortage of these skills.
So GO FOR IT!
ALAN!

HEY EVERYBODY
hi ya
🙁
Our area is a little quiet isn’t it 🙁
Hi – I just found the wall! Reminds me of the joke. What did the fish say when it hit the wall.
DAM
Welcome to our very quiet little wall!
to Chris: Do you like teaching?
I like teaching with small class sizes or 1:1 (as with PhD students). When the class sizes are very big (> 50) I may as well lecture on radio or TV (which I do from time to time)
BRING ON THE WAAAAAALL ! :L haaaa
to Martin: how did you find out about SCANDLE?
Has your work ever landed you an award?
I got an award for being top young investigator in oxygen transport to tissue – The Melvyn Knisley award. I also got second prize in a sciencxe writing competition. £2,000 of books!!!!!
to Tamsin: whats it like in the Antarctic?
BRING ON THE WAAAAAALLL
how was the earth made ? ox
from space dust spewed out when the sun was formed (I think there is a better answer elsewhere on this site)
good joke lol 🙂
thanks
what came first, chicken or egg. my brain cant decide:S
the dinosaur (check out evolutionary theory)
to Martin : what do you find the best thing about working with the brain?
please reply
I really want to know
to Tamsin: whats it like in the Antarctic?

It’s very snowy where I am in Antarctica at the moment, and windy too. There are lots of big mountains but also icebergs. Most of Antarctica is flat and white and very very cold. Also, it’s pretty dry here because a lot of the time it is actually too cold for it to snow very much. The South Pole in the middle of Antarctica is very high, cold and dry but it’s not so isolated anymore. There’s a big American base with over 100 people living there and several flights a day landing in the summer season (October to February).
Would you like to come and visit, or even live in Antarctica?
Ugh now guys!
Ugh? Surely you mean Ogh?
to all scientists who know about space:
what is the only thing that can escape a black hole (before you say, there is ONE thing that can)
please reply
Steven Hawking radiation
The Wall is much better than asking questions :DDD
I think I have answered your questions. Can you answer mine now? What is DD?
…but no one answers for ages QQ
what is your question? I can;t find it?
Sorry Guys. We were concentrating on answering the questions you posted 🙁 but I’ve checked, most of them have been answered. If you comment on the questions we’ll get back to you aswell. Sorry about missing the chat, darn firewalls eh!
I’m away all day at a meeting. I’l answer all these really interesting questions tonight! Chris

You have a great “Ask a scientist” page on your web page. One of the questions is only half right though. Penguins feet don’t freeze in part because their blood protein – haemoglobin – is designed to give off as lot of heat when it delivers oxygen to the feet. There is a book entitled “Why don’t penguins feet freeze in winter” where I answer in more depth.
