Science is like a mental exercise to me. It gives me a way to understand how things around me work and why they happen, like “Why are oceans blue-green but red sea looks reddish brown?” or “Why do nettles sting me when I am out a trail” or “how are these glowworms glowing”, or “why do ants follow a trail” or “Why don’t I get sick as often as some others” or “Why do I see dreams” or “How do our brains remember things” or “What makes our hair grow, and why do some people lose their hair” or “why do cat/rat have whiskers and I don’t” or why do I feel happy or sad or sleepy or excited” (I just want to know! :D)

I also enjoy being a ‘detective’ in the world of science. I like collecting lots of information, kind of like how detectives gather clues. But our clues are DNA, a secret code for all living things. I like using powerful computers to crack the DNA code and figuring out something that is there but not yet known. (It’s like using magic spells to reveal secrets!) My science-y job is also very interesting every day. I sometimes read articles, other times work on computers to solve problems, and make cool presentations to show my results. I get to chat to scientists and doctors from everywhere and I love being among the first ones to know about the cool upcoming technologies. It is fun to talk about science with children and families. Moreover, science is everywhere so I also get to travel to many places.
