Jenny, 22, from Essex, says "Geology Rocks"
The upcoming science star has an incredible passion for all things geological and is often found out in the field surveying the "really pretty rocks and stuff". So what does this enquiring mind have to say about her science of choice?
"I love visiting a whole range of beds. My own research has taken me through all the rocks from the gneiss to the schist. And not just the rocks - there's so much we can learn from investigating cleavages as well. Don't laugh, I mean it, just take a long hard look at them. If you have a greater curiosity, like myself, why not have a go at some thrust faults. If we all just took the time to go deeper we could all get a piece of the wonder I've experienced during my time as a researcher.
It's easy to get started, you just have to try it. The problem starts when you've had a taste and then get addicted to it. Now I can't help myself - I've just got to get out there and really get down to it. I can't get enough!
Oh by the way, I've been meaning to find out: what's a pun. Do you guys know?"
