      This is a really good question Sophie. I’d like to meet Marie Curie, if she was still alive. She won two Nobel prizes, in chemistry and physics, and was the first woman to get one. She studied radioactivity and its effects and was responsible for the first trials of using radiation to treat cancer.

      She died in 1934, of illness caused by radiation. In those days women scientists were very unusual. She is an inspiration.

      For me it would have to be Steven Hawking. I think what he has managed to achieve, despite being almost completely paralysed for many years, is remarkable! I also think he seems to have a good sense of humour, so I would enjoy talking to him!
