Interested more or less as long as I can remember; actively involved in it perhaps just over a decade. I did my first experiment in a lab in high school when I was 16.

Ben Smart answered on 12 Mar 2012:
I’ve been interested in science for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I always wanted to find out how things worked, and why things were the way they were. Now as a scientist I’m finding out how the universe works!
As for how long I’ve been involved in science, I’d say I’ve been a scientist for 2 years now, since I’ve been doing research and working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN for 2 years. I’ve been studying science for a lot longer than that though. -

At school I was always really keen on science since we first started doing it as science and always did any of the extra activities I could. At uni I did internships over the summer with lasers and at particle detectors (like CERN but smaller). I’ve been a PhD student for nearly 3 years now, that’s how long I’ve been a proper scientist.

Mario Campanelli answered on 13 Mar 2012:
I finished school in 1990, and started physics studies at Uni. Before that I was not terribly interested in science, I was more of the literary type with interests in philosophy and politics. But I had more a scientific than a literary mentality (prefere facts and proofs than endless discussions, or at least this is how I saw it then), so I went into physics to better understand the world around us.

I think I’ve always been interested in science, I remember going to the Joderell Bank observatory when I was very small and loving it. I’ve been doing research of my own since I started my PhD, which was 2005.
