      Definitely end world poverty. That is such a huge problem in the world. The inequality between us and some of the poorest people in Africa and other places is terrible.

      End world poverty, no doubt about it.

      There are some really deprived countries in the world. Africa, for example, has some very poor areas, which I feel very strongly about. And as I’ve mentioned before, if I win I’m a Scientist… I would go on scheme’s provided by the Lightyear Foundation and develop science education in schools there.

      What if the next big science discovery was the key to ending world poverty?

      The ethical thing would be ending world poverty, but it would be best if I could invent something alongside that would help deal with the environmental costs of the huge amount of industrialization that would go with it.
      That’s part of what Comic Relief is about though – any why we all had Red Noses.
