      Of course!

      I don’t like spiders much, I am afraid of any harm coming to people I love, I am occasionally afraid of what the future might hold for my children – stuff like that.

      Nothing in the usual sense, like heights or insects. I’m fine with all that stuff.

      I’m afraid of my parents’ health deteriorating with old age.

      Just your average fear of falling, but who really likes falling anyway?

      Walking around the lab alone at night can be a little creepy, lots of weird noises and such that just sound more terrifiying when there’s nobody else around.

      Sooooo many…. My major fear is of seeing those I love suffer, or die. It happened already and I can tell you nothing else matters in comparison.

      But I am also afraid of poisonous animals, violent people, loosing my job, snakes and animals with more feet than me, the dentist,… As a teacher I also fear not being clear or enthusiastic enough, I was lucky to have inspiring teachers myself and I aspire to be one too. I’d hate to feel I put a student off any science when in reality it is so magic 🙂
