Andrew Cairns answered on 22 Nov 2011:
You should definitely vote for me! Ha, what else am I going to say?
I think I have a good idea of what to do with the money, that will hopefully engage a lot of students to study science in university. I hope I have answered questions well, and been fun in chats, and shown that being a scientist is fun and that we are (mostly) normal people doing cool things!
That being said, everyone in this zone has put a huge amount of effort into the contest, and there are some excellent other ideas for what to do with the money! The choice is yours though – GOOD LUCK VOTING!

No, vote for me!
I’ve hopefully given some helpful answers to peoples questions, but you should probably have a look through them and see which descriptions you find most interesting/helpful.
With regard to the prize, I’ve come up with an idea which will hopefully be of benefit to as many students as possible. I’ve accounted for how much and where the money would be spent and I wouldn’t be able to do this otherwise.
But, like Andrew said, everyone’s put in a lot of time and effort so you can’t really go wrong.

Hmmm, without wanting to repeat the above: “Vote for me!” Haha!
I think the questins we’ve been asked on this site, and in the online chats, have been excellent and I’ve really enjoyed being a part of it and would like to continue to do so!
Hopefully some of the answers I’ve given have been useful to people and hopefully they’ve seen (from everyone in this zone) that scientists are just regular people that happen to work with some really ace experiments/technology. And as the others have said, everyone in this zone has put a lot of effort into their answers and chats which has been really great 🙂
If I did win the prize then I’d be able to use it for either of my ideas (see profile page). I’m currently leaning towards the idea of making a far more professional model of the particle accelerator so it can be taken around to schools (or used when school students visit ISIS) and people can have a go at “accelerating protons (aka chocolate footballs)” and see how they get on, with the incentive they can eat any “protons” they successfully accelerate 🙂

My answer will be: why not?;)
I hope to win the prize and build superconducting levitating train model and can bring it to school an share my area of science with more school students and get superconductivity known by as many school students as possible. But really if you choose any of us, it will be with nice scientific benefits:) -

Vote for the person who you’ve enjoyed interacting with the most…. but most importantly keep enjoying science and definitely come and visit us on one of our tour days if you get the chance 😀
The afterwards don’t forget to keep following the sciency goodness… i am always posting fun sciency things on my google+ and will be uploading some youtube kitchen science experiments shortly 🙂
😀 Enjoy voting!
