      That is a really tough question, there are lots of things I like about science. The main reason I liked science in school was because I learned new things about the human body and nature. I remember being fascinated that the bone structure of our hand is similar to the wing/hand of a bat, and the fin of a whale! As I have progressed through my career, I love that science allows me to meet really interesting people doing unbelievably cool research on topics I didn’t even know existed. One man I met at a conference studied the ecosystem of anthills and the microscopic organisms (living things) that help keep their homes healthy.
