      Yes, I have met Richard Dawkins, and I have met Richard Foley (who was the curator of the Natural History Museum), both are regularly on TV. I have also seen Dara O’Brien live. I would love to meet David Attenborough.

      I have met Richard Dawkins and I have met a scientist called Robert Trivers. He is not very famous with the public because he isn’t on TV and doesn’t write books but he is very famous in biology because he came up with some really important theories. His most important work was to do with something called ‘inclusive fitness’ which explains how animals have evolved behaviours where they help other animals, even if they hurt themselves doing it.
