      I started as a PhD student 13 years ago. But a year before I started doing my first research during the last year at the university, so I can say that they are at least 14 years doing science.

      However, I think that since I was a child I began to wonder how things worked around me and did some experiments at home with a kit called “Quimicefa” … So I am scientist since then? What do you think?

      I started my PhD in 2013, and I think that’s when I started thinking of myself as a scientist – so that would be about six years now! Before that I was studying science at school and at university though, so I was learning about a lot of science, and doing some experiments of course, but I think I was still more of a student than a scientist at that point.
