      Hi there!

      I think that science is a field with a HUGE amount of potential in itself. It is also big enough that every child would find a type of science that it’s perfect for him/her!
      I am also totally sure that the creativity and the curiosity of children will bring a new cut to the way we deal with issues in science. To make new discoveries it’s really important not to get struck in only one way of thinking, or you won’t reach big and amazing things.

      Even if you don’t want to become a scientist because there is something else you would better do (perfectly fine! There are so many interesting jobs and subjects!), I would really like you to be supportive of science and scientists. The hardest think that sometimes a scientist can end up facing are stubborn people that think you’re useless and it’s really mean and unproductive!
