      I live in anticipation of the day my superpowers kick in. AAAAAny day now…

      I might just have to do an Iron man / Batman and just build all my superpowers instead. A bit like the Engineer in a comic called ‘The Authority’. In this series she’s a scientist who replaced her blood with 9 pints of sentient nanobots, she can control and manipulate them into machinery or sensor systems or weapons and stuff. Pretty cool. Maybe I should get cracking on that instead?

      I have the superpower of science writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Lots of scientists have trouble writing well so that everyone can understand… but a lot of journalists and writers don’t know much about science. So it is almost like a superpower to be able to do both… I got this article into Nature Magazine with my superpower science writing skills! http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v479/n7374_supp/full/479S14a.html

      But for real, everyone has superpowers sometimes. 😉 Did you know that some mothers can lift cars if their children are in trouble! Lots of people can do more than they think they can do when the time comes and it is an emergency. People are very strong and resilient in the face of disaster.

      Unfortunately no. I recently had to have radioactive dye injected into my vein (as part of a medical test), but I still have no powers. It would be great to get some. What would you most like to have as a superpower?

      I have the most awesome super power in the world. I have too uber cool brothers and when we hang out the world around us turns in to one giant party. It seriously cool to watch. In fact I think the we should get dropped in to troubled areas and just chill them out.
