      Hi there

      I do read lots of stuff. But when I said I read a lot I mostly meant I read other peoples research so I keep up to date with my work – I know that sounds boring but it’s part of the job.

      I am supposed to be an expert but I keep finding things that were done two or three years ago that I have never heard of! So I have to keep up with the latest science.

      Anyway – I do like reading other things as well. I like to read about ancient history (particularly the history of science as you might have guessed!) but other stuff about empires and kingdoms that were important before the world was like it is now.

      It is difficult to find enough time to read everything I think I should 🙁

      How about you? What do you like to read?
