Well let's watch the programmes first and see what we can come up with.
Chemistry and pharmacology often come up with compounds that end up having a totally different use from that which they were first synthesised for, that's one of the fascinating things about research. For example, thalidomide, which had such terrible effects when used to treat morning sickness in pregnancy in the 1950s/60s, is now used to treat leprosy and as a cancer chemotherapy treatment.
I'd love to be starting a career in science again knowing what I know now, so many exciting things have emerged in the last forty years.
