why do you love your subject

Graduate School
1

<p>If you like biology, why? If physics, why? If chemistry, etc. What is it about the subject that you love?</p>

2

<p>I like Microbiology for the glamor and the women.</p>

3

<p>Because the money’s good, the scenery changes and they let me use lasers, okay?</p>

<p>Belevitt, I googled “microbiology women” and this is the first image to come up</p>

<p>Yepper, that’s the woman I was talking about.</p>

<p>Why I love science research in general: there’s nothing more satisfying than being the first, and momentarily only, person in the whole history of the world to know something. And it’s puzzle solving, which gets me hooked automatically.</p>

<p>Biology in particular though… I find great satisfaction in using molecular tools to decipher the past history of things (read: evolution). It’s one giant puzzle waiting to be picked apart.</p>

<p>I’m an Engineer, and if you have ever read Dilbert, you know the engineers get the woman all the time…(just kidding…I actually once did a stand-up comedy routine where I made fun of myself and my horrible dating luck after the woman I was with found out I was an engineer.)</p>

<p>I was a physics major as an undergrad. During my sophmore or junoir year I made the horrible discovery that, for the most part, I couldn’t care less how nature works. I became an engineer after that. I genuinely like creating stuff and getting paid for it. I loved math. I though it was an amazing human creation. Strangely, my only real interest in science is Biology. I like understanding how some random animal works. To me the animal is kinda like a big circuit, but where the designer was profoundly better than me.</p>
