      oooh, depends what counts as a discovery. I have a patent application going through so I guess that that’s one invention! Every scientific paper could count as a discovery through, as you’re publishing a contribution to science, so in that case around fifty.

      Loads of discoveries. But it depends on how important they are which really matters. Some have been important (especially some new work on CO2 capture) but I’m sure I have many more important ones to make.

      None as yet because I have only been a scientist for a year…but I hope to find some interesting things out about how we can help to stop the obesity epidemic from getting even worse through finding ways to help get people more active!

      I have only been a scientist for a year so I haven’t made many discoveries as of yet. I have completed one study looking at the effects of 1 day or 7 day supplementation of green tea on fat burning during exercise.

      My results found that if you drink “a lot” of green tea for 7 days it can increase your fat burning in some people but not others.

      I don’t actually know. Most of the things that I have found out add a little bit to what we already know. Making lots of little discoveries all builds up to making big discoveries!
