      Hi bobob,

      A massive thank you, we are all doing this to try and enthuse & inspire you guys with science, so it’s great to hear we are!

      Science is definately fun in my opinion, but it will require you to work hard. If you work hard, then it can become easy, especially when you cover topics in science that you really like.

      Best of luck with it and who knows maybe you’ll be a PhD scientist to one day and you can keep an eye out for these old men and women you knew on I’m A Scientist! 😉

      Hi bobob,

      I’m really glad that you’re enjoying getting to meet us on I’m a Scientist. It’s hard to say whether triple science will be easy or not – some people find it easy and some find it difficult. I would say that it’s probably not a lot more difficult than having to do double science and then one other subject, because you’ll have more time to be focusing purely on science.

      Usually, if you find something interesting, you’ll find that it’s easier to put the hard work in needed to get the best grades.

      Hey bobob,

      Thats great you are interested in science. I did triple science when i was at school and i found it really interesting. It doesn’t really matter if it is hard or not i think the most important thing is that you enjoy it and are interested in to because that means you will actually work hard at it. I wouldn’t do something easy if i found it really boring. so go for triple science and one day you could be working as a research scientist!

      Hi bobob,

      Thanks for the comment … i’m glad our work is inspiring for you. Science is fun for me and i’m assuming it is for you as well so in my opinion I think you should go for triple science. It will be hard work but I find that if you enjoy something you’re doing then it doesn’t feel like hard work. I never did triple science when at school, I never got the option as i never got the required marks in my prelim exams. In hindsight it probably worked out better for me as i was never any good at biology anyway, so I studied geography instead, which i really enjoyed. Hope it all goes well for you … methinks you’ll be a scientist one day.
