I think, now that I am a mother, I look at other mums like Jo Pavey and just mums that go back to work and work incredibly hard, and I have so much admiration and appreciation for how hard it is.
I take my hat off to working mums and especially single working mums. I honestly don't know how they do it.
I've always produced content that is PG - free from profanities and swearing - because I know I have a bunch of young kids who watch it. I meet mums all the time, and they're always very grateful because they know their child is watching and I'm not going to be influencing them negatively. Big up the mums, man.
It's hard: For someone who travels as much as I do - who has to make her living on the road eight months out of the year - relationships are incredibly important. But at the same time, they're incredibly hard to maintain.
Working mums and stay-at-home mums get a tough time. You're damned if you do and damned if you son't. You just have to do what's right for you and not listen to what the mummy brigade say.
When it comes to babies and children and being a mother, there is so much to talk about. There are products that I keep discovering - endless products! People love to read about these things. And I interview cool mothers, mums with babies, and mums with teenagers... all mums who I admire.
Stay-at-home mums love working mums to feel guilty. They sacrificed everything for their children.
I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.
A single neuron in the brain is an incredibly complex machine that even today we don't understand. A single 'neuron' in a neural network is an incredibly simple mathematical function that captures a minuscule fraction of the complexity of a biological neuron.
Opening the batting in Test cricket, facing up to fast bowlers looking to do their worst with a new, hard ball is incredibly tough. You have to be brave, single-minded and prepared to work very, very hard.
I'm an incredibly hard worker, I'm incredibly tenacious, and I'm incredibly detail-oriented.
Barack himself is very much a regular guy, not a silver spoon, incredibly smart, but, you know, he's a scholarship kid, made good use of the resources that were available to him, worked incredibly hard.
This is what makes science so hard, and ultimately so fun. Think of the limits of what we know as a great suite of rooms inhabited by vast numbers of incredibly busy, incredibly messy, nearsighted people, all of whom are eccentric recluses.
I have to say, I have to tell you that my kids had a most marvelous time having two moms. When my daughter was at university, she got flu. And both mums rushed to be with her. And we were both looking after her and making soup and tidying up. And one of her friends came in and went, 'Two mums? Not fair.'
It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.
I have a career I love more than I can tell you, and I have it because I work incredibly hard pretty much every single day.
