Question: what do you want to achieve most when you are studying science?

Sarah Harris answered on 17 Nov 2014:

It depends on what I’m studying! Usually the main aim is to find connections – so if I’m researching a drug for example I’ll want to find out where it acts on the body, what the side effects are, what diseases it will treat… but these will all involve different experiments.

I guess the thing you most want to achieve is an explanation of what you’re studying – after all, that’s what science is all about!
