It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of reading. I read on trains, in bed, in the bath, on buses... everywhere I can. Often it's crime fiction or history of religion, but sometimes I will branch out into something more scientific. Almost inevitably, I enjoy any books I read about science. Of course it depends on the kind of science - I find physics fascinating, but am less enthralled by biology or chemistry - but it's nice to have a bit of brain-stretching from time to time. Which is why I found the idea of the Google Science Fair really interesting. Kids from all over the world can compete to win a host of fantastic prizes. The competition has been running since January and will close on the 4th of April; it's being judged by Nobel laureates, tech visionaries and household names in science.
