  I’m not sure easier is quite the right term – but it’s definitely more fun! Looking at endless pages of A, C, G and Ts often isn’t very inspiring, so giving the letters a colourful, physical and even tasty form really helps to visualise what I’m doing and talking about. I often work with people who aren’t familiar with the things I do, whether it be patients that could be helped by my research, colleagues specialising in other areas, or school pupils like you, so being able to explain things in different ways is really important. Plus, Lego is just awesome!
