  In my day to day work I mainly use and study physics. I can use physics (and maths!) to figure out things like how far away a galaxy is, how big the galaxy is and what processes are going on in the galaxy that make it emit energy. When we use physics to try to understand what’s going on in space, we call it astrophysics.
  
  I would like to think that I’m good at physics! I was pretty good at chemistry in school and at college but had to pick between physics and chemistry for uni and chose physics. I was really rubbish at biology in school and probably still am.

  I study physiology – really, it’s about how the body and all the many constituents of it works. It’s mainly biology of course but can often involve quite a bit of chemsitry and maths depending on what mini-topic you are studying. And even physics, quite a lot of biologists started out studying physics, although I try to avoid any topic involving physics if I see it coming along 🙂
  It won’t surprise you to hear that at school I was quite good at maths and chemistry and rubbish at physics.

  I work with plants but this involves studying anything and everything from plant genetics, physiology (what they look like) and biochemistry. This all falls under the category of biology which I’m not too bad at, although I also quite liked physics at school – for some reason it just seemed to make sense – but never took the subject any further.
