When I was about 7 years old. I loved studying science and was very curious to know the secrets of life. Every new thing I learned was very exciting and I always wanted to learn more. I have the same feelings today and it’s just great!
I was 20 years old (stark contrast to Crisitane) and had to decide what to do with my life.
Thinking back to my school days, I realized that I had liked science, especially biology, so I gave it a go. It has worked out pretty nicely so far 🙂
That’s the best advice for you: Ask yourself what you like and see if you want to do it for a career.
I’m not sure I have a specific age, but probably some time in high school is when I realised I definitely wanted to do something to do with science as a career 🙂
I really became a scientist by accident. In fact, I did no science at all to speak of at school. I wanted to be an archaeologist so in those days it was all about humanities. It was only when I started to study it that I realised I really enjoyed the environmental side of the research and I started to study it more. I have a completely classical education at A and O level and I barely scraped through on maths. It therefore came as a considerable surprise to realise that eventually I had become a scientist! I still work very much at the interface between the sciences and humanities and I really love that combination.
