      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 🙂
