I like the fact that science allows me to appreciate the world at different levels. When I look at the night sky, I appreciate it as a work of awe-inspiring natural art. But, because of science, I can also appreciate the night sky as the domain of nuclear reactors called stars, each immensely far away from Earth. Because of science, I know that if we go back a mere forty generations, I am related to you! We know that the instructions for life are written in a precise digital code.
What I enjoy most about science is that it provides deeper, more fulfilling, ways to appreciate the extraordinary world we live in and it teaches us that we are connected to each other, to every other organism on the planet, and to the dust of the stars.

It helps us understanding the world. It’s fascinating that we have managed to grasp a few of the secrets of the Universe.
Basically it answers some of our questions. It’s the reason why I wanted to be a scientist. Of course it doesn’t solve the problem. Now I have even many more questions.

It is international and written in a language that everybody can understand if properly educated. There are hundreds of languages spoken today, but the language of science remains in numbers, figures, measurements and statistics. The content changes over time as we make steps further, but it still remains universally comprehensible. It also makes possible to everyone to test if a certain idea or result is reliable and, if not, to come up with a more accurate one.
Science answers our wonder about the natural world in a way that brings other questions. Looks like an endless game? Maybe so, but not pointless because we learn little by little at each answer. It keeps us challenging what just learned as we explain new discoveries that don’t fit well with our previous thoughts.
Reliable knowledge stimulates technology. Think about the way goods travel around the world has changed, from chariots among nearby villages to container ships in the oceans. It happened after understanding how things work and mastering many different technologies.
Let’s not forget that science makes us enjoy sci-fi! Is this scene realistic? Will that gismo ever be possible? How many things that you thought impossible in a movie have you seen later for real?

I enjoy science because it allows me to understand how the world around me works – because of science I can connect the swirls of milk in my morning coffee to the giant storms raging on the surface of Jupiter!
However, the thing I enjoy the most about science is that no matter how much we discover and learn, there are always more mysteries to be solved – What happened at the very beginning of the Universe? Why does time only go in one direction? Are we the only ones out there in the cosmos..? The more we solve, the more there is to be solved which means a scientist’s job is never done!

I really enjoy solving problems and writing computer code. Also being a science researcher means I’m constantly learning new things as well as new skills.
