At the Imperial Open Day they mentioned Maggie Pocock, a BBC scientist consultant, who went to Imperial University and I realised that although I had heard of her I had never got around to google stalking her. So half way through some particularly boring Maths homework (I have decided that I do not like functions very much!) I searched her and ended up listening to a radio 4 interview with her. She really is a perfect Physicist trying to share her love of the subject with a very interesting past making her an even more inspirational figure. She has made it on the list! Though of course Nikola still sits at the top, Maggie shouldn't feel bad because even though she gets extra points for being a space scientist, building her own telescope and having a brilliant personality it is extremely difficult to get more points than a super genius with an amazing moustache...
In the interveiw she mentioned her Physics teacher playing this song by Flanders and Swann to her and I really enjoyed it! This is the best version I could find on Youtube, I wish I had more time to remake my own but unfortunatly that Maths functions homework is waiting...
