I didn’t study natural science at university, having chosen the humanities in the sixth form at school. As a result, I grew up scientifically illiterate in the “two cultures” atmosphere of the last century. Art and human sciences seemed much more interesting than natural science anyway. It wasn’t until I started looking into the creative science writing of biologists like Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould that I realised how fascinating science really is.
