How I got to where I am now 🔬

1993

I'm Tom. I was born in Margate, England and grew up (mostly) in the sleepy coastal town of Birchington, England. I was interested in science from an early age but didn't have a formal scientific education in primary school. I navigated the UK's public selective school entrance exams and secured a place at Chatham House Grammar School for Boys, now known as Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School, in Ramsgate, England.
