By L.B.
What inspired you to keep working in science?
1. I excelled in math and science in high school so when it came time to choose my major for college, my first choice was something in that field. Both my parents were also engineers so that also motivated me to pursue a field in science and engineering.
What are some of your achievements as a scientist?
2. One of achievement in my field was at my first job as a research assistant. I helped design and execute experiments that compared the growth patterns of mammalian cells in the growth media that the company I was working for produced versus the original growth media that was in place.
What goals did you have to set for yourself to become a scientist?
3. One of my goals I set when becoming a scientist was to be in a position where through my research and scientific knowledge, I could help provide a service that would be of benefit to many people. I feel that being in the scientific field will give me that opportunity. Through hard work and discipline, I have found that science helps give me that platform to make a difference for the better.
