So it would be lovely if you could tell us about your academic journey and what's brought you to settle here in Lincoln.

Right.

Well, I think my academic journey is probably not necessarily as straightforward as a lot of other people's because initially I was a high school dropout.

So I didn't actually finish high school because I hated school.

It was boring.

I struggled to pay attention.

I was not very well behaved.

and that was fascinating and then when I found out about the ideas I was like well what else is there that's also you know a good thing and then I started read that's when I got into it because I started reading about all of the fantastic things that no one had ever obviously nobody had told me about so what is your experience about having lots of ideas?
