      I have always been fascinated with the human body. Majority of my siblings have all broken there bones at some point with my younger sis breaking both her arms at one point. So the interest was there. However, my love for it did grew during my university studies in medical engineering where studying the human body was fun and exciting.

      Yes since I was a kid I always found medical stuff very interesting! I didn’t think I wanted to have a job in it though until I finished my undergraduate degree. I didn’t really think that scientists and engineers worked on medical things!

      I think that since the birth, everyone is interested in their own body and how it works. After all, it is a fascinating mechanism, capable of amazing things. The challenge is to understand how it works. I am sure it will be worth it

      Hi Ciara,

      At school I think I felt that what we learnt about the human body was just knowledge we had to know – we didn’t get to do any experiments or anything with it – and I really like experiments. But when I got to university one of my lecturers (like a teacher) explained about all these things that engineers had done to make medicine better – like inventing pretty much every machine you find in a hospital, and then I started to get more interested in the human body to see how I could help people when something went wrong.

      Best wishes,
      Sophie

      Hi,
      Yes I have always been fascinated by the body – it grows and heals itself after all, which is weird to think about! The body is amazing
