      We did a study looking at facial muscles in humans (by dissecting the faces of cadavers – dead people) and I predicted that some people wouldn’t have the same muscles as others. Not that crazy really, but it is strange to think that we all have different muscles in our faces! Some muscles are the same, and these are ones that we use for common, universal facial expressions. Others vary, and allow you to make unique facial expressions!

      I have come up with a few, in fact most of my ideas are a bit crazy. I once came up with an idea of testing if budgies could untie really complicated knots. I’m not sure how useful it was but they could do it…
