      I started psychology training in 2005 (a diploma for 2 years) then I did a masters in sport psych in 2007 for 1 year. And since then i have been continuing my training “on the job” and working/researching at the same time. So 6 years so far! Just a toddler scientist really

      If I count from when I started my PhD, 13 years.

      I would say a scientist is anyone who’s interested in the world around them and wants to know how it works. So I’d say since I was 11 – that’s 16 years!

      i think i’d tend to agree with jenni, i’ve really enjoyed all forms of science since i was about 10 or 11. I started my University degree in 2000 though so i guess properly since then.
