Karaoke with workmates in Kyoto earlier this year; unfortunately there is video evidence.
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
I’d love to travel in space, know the true story of the JFK assassination, and live long enough to see a Western Bulldogs’ premiership (could be some time).

An artist! But I eventually realised I wasn’t particularly good.

Of course! I remember behaving fairly horribly throughout my entire Year 8.
What's the best thing you've done as a scientist?
Travelling the world and meeting people from different backgrounds is always a fantastic experience.
