      I didn’t really know until I came to university. When I moved to the UK I noticed it was really easy for me to swear in English (I never swear in my native language!) and I really wanted to know why. So I ended up doing bilingualism and emotions, and how you feel less in your second language as my dissertation topic 🙂 After that I realised I wanted to know more, and that’s how I got into science

      It is just a really exciting subject – there is always something new to learn and discover. I never thought about being a scientist, but now I couldn’t think of being anything else!!!
