      A few people:
      Marie Curie. She was a female scientist in a time when women were expected to just be housewives. She got TWO Nobel Prizes (1 in Chemistry & 1 in Physics)

      George Foreman. He was a heavyweight champion, won an Olympic gold medal, then became a church minister, author, has 12 children, AND runs a company where he’s sold over 100 million kitchen grills. I hope I can achieve so much in my life too!!

      & Gary Lineker. As he was an amazing footballer, is from my home city (Leicester), and never once got a yellow or red card in his entire career. That just blows my mind

      Mostly the entrepreneurs I meet in my work, the people who have the courage of risking their livelihood to start a company around an idea they have

      A lot of people:
      The wonderful presenters of the royal institution christmas lectures (dream job!) – they make science fun and are such confident presenters, it’s taken me a while to become a good presenter!

      Malala Yousafzai – She has been fighting for girls right to be educated (in some countries girls don’t have this right)!

      and my Granny – I’ll never be able to cook or bake as well as her 🙂
