      Scientists decide the future.
      We need them for all the things that make living in the modern world so good. Medicine, technology, understanding the universe. All of these things are important part of being alive today!
      More importantly we need scientists to save the world! Climate change is a massive risk to life on Earth in about 100 years the changes will be irreversible. We need newer (better) scientists to come and stop it.
      Anti-bacterial resistant bacteria is another problem coming up. We need scientists to invent new ways to stop bacteria.
      Most importantly, better scientists create even better scientists! The best reason to be a scientist is so you can help other people become scientists! It’s like creating a superhero team… except you don’t have powers 🙂
      Great Question,
