Why I am interested in science

Science and research can answer questions, offer a firm understanding of the world we live in, and provide a structured, sound and logical method of coming to conclusions. Curiosity, that manifests itself as a fascination of the natural world we live in, drives my interest in science. I see science as a pathway to explaining “how things work”. Scientific principles can be applied across a myriad of disciplines, offering a way to combine strengths and invites collaboration across fields to answer these questions. I treasure diversity; it is the cornerstone of strength as it is easier to overcome obstacles when there is a wealth of unique approaches to pull from. Science exists in the spirit of diversity, bringing together many viewpoints. I believe this combined knowledge has a synergistic effect on the outcome. I want to find ways of effectively determining the impacts of various human activities on the natural world. This will require both familiarity with the scientific method and the ability to pull in knowledge from many fields.
