Hi
I think its both doing research at the forefront of knowledge, and being able to pass this on to you (and other young people). There is so much out there we dont know about, just begging to be examined and passing this knowledge on through generations of people is very rewarding and important.

Being able to investigate and find the answer to questions that people previously didn’t know! I also like being able to share this knowledge with other people interested in the same things that I am – what would be the point of keeping the information to myself?!

Hello silleserena,
The best thing is that you can have a bright idea, then create a hypothesis and test it, and hopefully it works! When it doesnt, you can always try again!

Hi Silleserena – it’s a bit like being an explorer some times, working out things that no one has figured out before or tested before, then being able to pass that knowledge on and see others taking it further

Hi Silleserena,
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.
