Question: Do you like learning knew things about your subject?

Yes, I love learning new things! That’s one of the main reasons why I chose to be a researcher. Today for example, I learnt there is a species of paper wasp in South America that lives in colonies, and individuals just fly off and go visit other colonies, stay a while and help around before going back to their own colony. This is a very uncommon behaviour, as usually animals belonging to different groups or colonies fight when they bump into each other. These wasps seems to be the pacifists of the animal world!
