Why science?

I enjoy thinking and solving problems. In science, there are tons of unanswered questions and I can spend as much time on thinking as I wish.

Do you have any advice for someone interested in a career in research?

Find an area of research that you are interested in and contact labs that are doing research in that field. Try volunteering in a lab and see if it is really what you are passionate about. Also, talk to people (professors or TA's) that are in research field.

I enjoy baking and I can make really good scones. I also like playing board games and watch movies.
