      I used to work with John Maynard Smith, who was really famous in the field of evolutionary biology. He was a really curious and inspiring scientist who studied everything from how animals signal & communicate with each other to how bacteria evolve.

      Hi @bethanyh12
      I have met James Watson who together with Francis Crick discovered DNA. I also live in Cambridge and nearly ran over Stephen Hawking as he was crossing the road in his wheelchair!
