What drew you to science?
Science captivated me because of my endless curiosity, which felt insatiable even as a child. It was never enough just to accept things at face value—I always wanted to dive deeper, ask questions, and connect the dots between observations and explanations. Science provides an ever-evolving framework to explore these questions, pushing boundaries of knowledge in ways that never quite end. This constant sense of discovery and challenge is what keeps me committed and excited about my field.
