Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. Kelvin’s ideas about the inevitable dissipation of “useful energy” spread quickly—by 1854, for example, finding their way into an eloquent public lecture by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894).
