I look at what happens to surfactants when they are cooled down. Surfactants are “surface active” agents that are used in many products found in your house or cosmetics such as shampoos because they are great for removing grease or stabilising the other components of your product but they often don’t like colder conditions and end up not working as expected or at all.
As for polymers, I use them to create tailor made storage containers or other random pieces by placing the liquid-likepolymer under UV light or in an oven to create a harder, more “set” material.

If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
1) To be able to fly – wouldn’t have to wait for transport or sit in traffic; 2) to be able to swim underwater like a fish – just because it would be cool; 3) which leaves… to own a big house with several dogs!
Tell us a joke.
Two atoms are walking along. One of them says: “Oh, no, I think I lost an electron.” ‘Are you sure?’ “Yes, I’m positive.”
