And the slime was kind of like forming webbing between my fingers.

I'd heard of things like shark liver oil or like fish extracts that could be helpful for people.

And I remember holding it thinking, oh, wouldn't it be cool if one day when I grow up I could find a fish extract that could help people.

And that was really my naive idea that I took all the way through to uni because I didn't have any mentors.

I didn't have anyone who could kind of guide me in life.

So I ultimately did a degree in medical research.

And when I was doing that degree, I was sitting in a neuroscience lecture and the neuroscientist that was giving that lecture was talking about some of his work.

And I remember looking at it thinking,

maybe have a different way to interpret what he's talking about.

And maybe I wanted to really test this idea that I'd had.

And I ended up, yeah, testing that idea.

doing a doctorate in neuroscience and then making that my career.

And the cool thing is, is that through that work, I discovered a natural protein that could regenerate nerves in the skin and that protein can be found in fish.

So it's almost like life came full circle.

Oh my God.

Wow.

It's one of those things that like unless you've been exposed to something, you don't know that you might want to do it as a career.

So we're totally influenced by what we see on TV and, yeah, Britney Spears is awesome.

Like who wouldn't want to be her?

Yeah, definitely.
