      Great science communicator such as Jim AlKhalili (form the series The Story of Electricity) or Prof. Winston 🙂

      I AM old (sob!!) :C.

      Like Akram, I would like to be able to be a scientific communicator. My style would be like that of Dr George McGavin my entomologist friend who appears on TV quite a lot. He is totally committed to education, extremely informative – and totally mad.

      I’d like to be a mad old scientist with bright white hair and crazy patterned wooly jumpers 🙂

      I did my Happy Planet Index calculation the other day – out of intrigue, see http://survey.happyplanetindex.org/. It worked out I was going to live to 102.9 years old. Wow!! If I have this amount of time left I can aspire to be a few amazing people I reckon. I’d like to have the influence of someone like Richard Branson ans use my influence to massively reduce the carbon intensity of travelling. I would also like to chase ambition like the guy who cycled around the world (Mark Beaumont). An lastly I’d like to still be as fun and savvy as my Granny (she’s 98 this year !!) 🙂
