Question: whats it like to be a scientist

Being a scientist is hard work, but it’s really fun!! 🙂 We ask interesting questions and try to find answers that are reasonable. Like, why do birds fly south for the winter? Because it’s warmer right? But why the tropics? often thousands of miles when they don’t have to go that far for warmer conditions.

We spend a lot of time talking to each other to make sure what we do isn’t bonkers! To do so we sometimes have to travel all over the world. It’s a great job!
