Andrew Quigley answered on 8 Nov 2015:
I can definitely say Chemistry! I’m an Analytical Chemist to studying milk so I have some Biology to brush up on.
I also love reading about space and all the discoveries being made at the minute. Finding water on Mars was really interesting! So I guess I’m a bit of an armchair physicist.

I’m going to have to go along with Andrew! I spend a lot of time doing Analytical Chemistry and it’s so fun! However… I decided to do my PhD in a mostly Biology field because I wanted to be an all rounder. But my love of both of these makes me a pretty darn decent biochemist 🙂

I liked all three, and then I did them for my A-levels because I couldn’t decide which was my favourite! At A-level though, I preferred biology and physics. We had a brilliant physics teacher. He was really eccentric and told us brilliant stories! Even though the content was sometimes difficult, he was always able to relate it to a real-life example, and I find that examples really help me to learn (especially if it involves a funny story!).

If I had the choice I would have taken physics and chemistry in school but in a twist of fate, physics was not available in my school so I took biology instead, and am very happy I did as that’s what I have gone on to enjoy the most. In my job, we apply all three disciplines to the study of food though and each are fascinating. I would encourage everyone to keep an open mind and experience as much as possible. Not forgetting maths because most experimentalists rely on maths/statistics to interpret their data!

Physics. Most of the physics experiments could be visualized and felt, unlike chemical reaction or biological activities.
