What drew you to science?
My major pull toward science was sheer curiosity. Right from high school, I became fascinated that natural phenomena could be explained: why the sky is blue, why we can only walk and not fly like birds. The answers to most of these questions came from my science classes, and I wanted to know more and be able to apply scientific reasoning to answer questions about nature. As I progressed, I became more interested in biological sciences, especially having lost loved ones to heart diseases and cancer. I felt that there were a lot of questions to be answered in health and diseases, and I wanted a career in science.
