Book blurb:
Are you always asking ‘why’ and ‘how’?
Do you enjoy experimenting?
Do you notice things that other people don’t?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then release your inner investigator and pursue a career in science! 
What do scientists do and why do they do it? In Scientists Making a Difference, Dr Shini Somara goes straight to the scientists themselves to find out. You’ll meet apprentices and technicians, as well as professors and entrepreneurs. They’ll tell you in their own words about their work: growing human cells to test medicines, building quantum computers of the future, tracking and protecting African wild dogs, searching for life beyond our solar system, and so much more. 
These are some of the world’s most amazing change-makers, who combine their passions with their work to make the world a better place. Why not become one of them to help answer the big questions of the future!
