Danica was voted winner of the Molecule Zone in March 2020! Now a chemist at the University of St Andrews, Danica used her prize money to create a unique and innovative project aimed at school students:
“I have created a colouring pages website aimed at school kids in the age group 5 to 7, based on the lives and research of chemists at the University of St Andrews where I currently work. The website contains profiles of the chemists in the colouring pages.
For the chemist’s profile pages, I have taken inspiration from the profile pages in the I’m a Scientist website. Each profile page contains information on the life and research and their illustration to show the students that science is for all irrespective of one’s interests and background.
I will be running a pilot with some schools soon and make any changes further down the line if required.”

What is I’m a Scientist?
I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an online activity where school students get to meet and interact with scientists.
It’s a competition between scientists, where the students are the judges.
Students challenge the scientists over intense, fast-paced, online live Chats. Then they Ask the scientists all the questions they want to, and Vote for their favourite scientist to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
