    In the modern world people are getting ill for loads of new reasons: Junk food, no exercise, old age, smoking or catching new diseases from animals. I look at all the information out there about this and try to work-out if “5-a-day” is enough to help or we all need to be like Jessica Ennis!

  • My Typical Day:

    Its always a tough call between Frosties and Coco-pops, then it’s off to work to play with computers and stop people getting sick and better quicker when they do.

  • What I'd do with the prize money:

    I want to make Zombie phones. I would make a phone app which will teach people about diseases like the Zombie plague. Every phone is like a different zombie that can infect another phone. We’ll be able to see how the disease spreads and understand other diseases.

  • My Interview

      Tell us a joke.

      All prime numbers are odd, except for 2 which is even. Which is odd!!!
