      Not very much, but I’m sure people all over the world are curious about where we came from and where we are going in space. I hope that some of them will find my work, and be inspired by it…

      I’m afraid that my job won’t directly affect Uganda. But I do hope that from what I learn, I can help at least some school children in Uganda. My father was at school in Uganda, and started studying physics there. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, and science can be incredibly useful to people living there: not just the knowledge itself, but also in teaching you how to think logically about problems. I want to use my skills as a scientist to help teach science there, to help the children be able to help themselves better when they grow up.
