      Nope, I don’t need to test anything on animals. I’m quite glad – I think I would feel awful if I did!

      No never. My research is all done using a computer – I do work with scientists that do experiments in the lab, but these do not use animals.

      There are charities and scientists who are trying to develop ways of doing medical research that do not use animals – if this is something you’re interested in you might like to find out more about organisations like the Dr Hadwen Trust:

      I don’t have to use animals in my experiments. Sometimes though when I collect my soil samples there are worms hiding in the dirt – I don’t like touching them so have to get someone else to take them out!
