About Me

So, I'm Martin Paul Timmins, 18 years old from Coppull, Lancashire. I'm just about to start my first year of a four year Chemistry Masters degree at Manchester University and I cannot wait to go! My life's ambition is to cure cancer, my short term goal is to get my ass a bursary so i can have it easy through uni!! **Great News, I've got myself a scholarship worth £1000 a year so the short term goal may well be completed!!**

Not sure what else there is to say really... I love going out with my mates and all that jazz... Oh yeah, i'm doing a 10K run for Cancer Research over in Manchester on September 9th and if you can spare any money to sp[onsor me i would really appreciate it. You can donate as little as you like online, just click the button below please please please :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Louis Pasteur, Ferdinand Cohn, Robert Koch (These guys were the founding fathers of the field of microbiology. Pasteur, in particular, was amazing: he invented pasteurisation, developed the first ever rabies vaccine, was the first person to prove that germs caused disease and was also the first person to discover the assymetry of crystals!). Dmitri Mendeleev (Another truly amazing bloke. Was one of 17 children, and went on to create the first version of the periodic table of the elements, aswell as predicting the properties of elements that had not yet been discovered. A true genius...). Rosalind Frankin, James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins (The four main people involved in the discovery of the structure of DNA, although only Franklin was not awarded a nobel prize despite the fact her brilliant x-ray crystallography was half the reason it was discovered in the first place...). Edward Jenner (Made the first ever smallpox vaccine, a disease we have now eradicated from the face of the earth despite the fact it used to kill 20% of the population..), Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Robert Hooke (One of the driving forces between the scientific revolution in this country).
