"Ever since year 9, I was always intrigued with science but towards the end of year 11 we did a topic to do with nuclear decay in physics and from that I've just shown a passion towards nuclear medicine and being able to help people using that knowledge that I like." "I feel like I've really pushed myself this year, and judging by the results they really have come through," he said.
