My Typical Day:
Every single day is different! I could be reading books to try and understand something, running a new experiment in the laboratory, or even visiting football grounds and farms to collect grass samples.

What I'd do with the prize money:
I’d put the money to developing my own outreach project I could bring around schools to explain this technology to people who might not have heard of it! I would buy the materials to make some really fun, interactive posters and games (which would contain slime!) As well as a model of a cow to help explain how my work is very closely linked to what happens in a cows stomach.
