My whole life has been basically trying to find intelligent students or, you know, highly motivated students and giving them an opportunity to do good science.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
My successes already accomplished have mostly been taking existing science and getting people to apply it in their everyday lives.
One of the reasons I'm so passionate about science is that it wasn't correctly taught to me. I got excited at university.
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
I had a science teacher in middle school who inspired me... simply because she acknowledged me and made me feel that what I had to offer was worthy.
My kind of, like, life goal is to help train students to be good people as well as good scientists. That would be my dream.
It's very satisfying to promote science and education and see good results. Setting a good example for young people, being a role model, is very important for me.
Through this additional support, we must renew our commitment to provide talented young people with the opportunity to build scientific careers based on their curiosity, the same opportunity that was provided to me when I began my work.
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
I'm a school teacher, and later on, well past my formal education, I became very interested in science.
