      Its power to explain nature to us.

      It’s the best tool we have at our disposal to help us understand how things work.

      The freedom to study what I want, how I want, and being the first person ever to see a new protein structure or other discovery.

      It’s the best way to understand the world around us. There will always be mysteries in the universe but with science we keep chipping away at it.

      As a job, it is the variety of it: to be a scientist you need to do so many different tasks, and you keep on learning so it just does not get boring.

      As a field in general, it is the universality of it, the fact that it applies and concerns each and every one of us, animals, plants, non living things, everything. It is like a religion really! 🙂
