Transcript: Scientists are real people. They go to work and they get dirty and they work at the bench. So it's a real profession and a real job. And, a lot of people think maybe the only way to be a scientist or to become involved in science is to have to win a Nobel Prize or to do something like that. You can be a successful participant in science at all sorts of levels, from the professor to the technician, to the support person, into industry, to academics. The opportunities now are tremendous and widespread for students to get into science. What really drives me to get up in the morning, what makes you get up in the morning and want to come in every day is curiosity. It sounds a bit trite, but it's that there's something that I can find out that no one knows and no one has ever known previously and that I have the tools and the ability to find it out. That's what gets me going every day. Back to Video Back to Becoming a Scientist Home |
