Dr Jaclyn Bell of Imperial College London describes the excitement of particle physics. The first in her family to go to university, she worked as a waitress and youth worker to pay her fees at Liverpool University. On graduating with 1st Class Honours in Mathematics, she won a John Lennon Memorial Scholarship for her community work and academic achievement. Then came a PhD in theoretical particle physics and the chance to test her skills as an astronaut candidate in BBC TV’s Astronauts series.
