      If I had to pick one top scientist… at the moment it would be Professor Katherine Blundell, who is an astrophysicist (i.e. she studies stars) at Oxford. She does really amazing work on black holes and the stuff that is squirted out as things are sucked into black holes. She also has an utterly awesome project called “Global Jet Watch” where she has installed telescopes at schools around the world and teaches the kids there how to use the telescope, and then she pulls together all the data and makes discoveries and publishes scientific papers out of it.
