      I’m a biochemist so I combine biology and chemistry together. So I look at the chemistry that goes on within cells. So guess more biology. Definitely not physics!!

      Biology! Since that’s the field I work in!

      I started with molecular biology and biochemistry, then more into the physics of the atoms and how they behave and I’m now combining all of them. So, it is really hard for me to pick one out, but I’d go with chemistry.

      Umm, physics? That’s why I do it. The point is that usually you are also best at the things you like best (that’s the way human beings are). I’m not so good at biology or chemistr and so it would have been hard to get the same sort of job (university professor) if I’d (perversely) chosen one of those subjects.
