      I like science because I like gaining information on the smallest of the small reactions that have a larger impact. Learning such mechanisms would help me better understand and contribute to science further for a better world.

      I like science because it challenges ideas that we thought/think are ‘right’! It makes us push our understanding and want to know more about everything! There is always something new and exciting to discover and the journey to get there can be really really exciting.

      Science is hard work and you don’t always discover anything, but even then, I love science because it provides me with a self-correcting method.

      The knowledge of science is not a bunch of desert nomad campfire stories.

      The knowledge of science is tested, proven, and subject to revision if it fails to predict something correctly.

      I like science because no day is ever the same. We are always learning something new even if what we learn is that we don’t understand something and we need to learn more!

      Sometimes something happens the way we thought it would and that feels good because we predicted it well, sometimes results surprise us which can be good/bad but gives us more information and some days can be plain frustrating (but you know that one day you will find the way that works).

      Science also really contributes in a positive way to the world we live in and is what can give us some of the solutions to some of the big problems of today (like climate change or pandemics).

      Because it tries to answer questions about …. well, about anything really.
      Science tries and often succeeds in answering the why, how, where from, how much and more. It helps us to understand the things I want to know about.

      I like science because I like finding new things out. Every day is different and I don’t know the answer to the question that I’m asking – each day I work a little closer to finding that out but my work might take a sudden change of direction if I get a result that I wasn’t expecting. That’s what makes it exciting and fun!

      I am a very curious individual. With science, you need to think, search to find answers and this satisfy me greatly.

      I like science because by using it you can understand how things work – e.g. why does the Moon orbit the Earth, why does that reaction make a certain chemical.

      I love finding out how things work, and trying to use that new knowledge to do something useful. My research group tries to work out how new chemical reactions happen, and then uses them to make new pharmaceutical drug molecules – it’s very satisfying to oversee the whole process from first principles to drug molecules!
