Hello lolly1998,
I think we had a similar question earlier, but I will still say that being a scientist is like a detective, you have a problem that you need to solve, you then create a hypothesis, do some experiments and hopefully have some meaningful results! I love that as I am quite inquisitive!

Hi Lolly,
I enjoy science because it makes sense of non-sense, if that helps. I look at a collision scene, see the damage, the injuries to people involved and use the available science disciplines to work out what happened, how the vehicles came to collide, their speeds, whether they were braking or not, the lights were on, seat belts being worn, how people may have been thrown from the vehicles, if vehicles failed to stop, identifying them in order to trace them, and hundreds of other questions Ensuring that those who are guilty of offences are found guilty, and those who are innocent are shown to be innocent. That is really important.
It is this variety and study of all of those factors that makes my job so interesting.
I hope that this helps. Good luck,
Mark. -

Hi Lolly
I enjoy science because it can be so challenging. You really have to work hard to investigate some of the questions that we research and then you have to try and figure out what the results of your experiments or tests tell you and how these relate to the original questions you were interested in.. its always interesting and you never get bored !

Hi
The variety in my work and being able to research information and perform experiments that none or not many other people have done! All the information we find out is new, not from a text book.
