• Question: If you saw a person in the street having a heart attack or something similar, would you, as a scientist, know what to do? If you do, what would you do?

      I teach a lot of first aid for sports so I’ve been trained in what to do if someone has a heart attack, but I am not a doctor! First aid is really important but you don’t learn it as part of becoming a scientist. Ben is a doctor so he would definitely know what to do!

      I know basic first aid but that’s it. The first thing I’d do is get them (if possible) out of the way (eg if they’re on the road) and call an ambulance.
