You don’t have to study Science in school
to be a scientist. Just look at the world through a child’s eye; you will see
things, you never saw before!!
My experiences with Science started out of
curiosity. Starting from wondering what would happen if you pluck out a
cockroaches’ leg to now, trying to figure out why Cancerous cells don’t die, it’s
been a fun ride!
Science is amazing, fun and full of
surprises! Given below is a list of things you can do with Science:
·
You get to blow up stuff and
blame it on Science. It’s so much fun!
·
You Cannot sit back and enjoy a
movie because it is scientifically inaccurate. And every 5 minutes, you are
jumping up to swear at the director.
·
The more you study science, the
more you look at all the wonderful things in nature, the more you go deeper
into life’s core, the more u realise
God’s greatness…
·
You know you have gone too far
when your Mom calls the fruit fly, a ‘Drosophila’, instead of ‘the fruit fly’,
like a normal person’s mom!
·
You get to make drugs …legally!!!
And nobody questions why ;)
·
The ability to self diagnosis.
Since you study diseases and symptoms, you will not need a doc to tell you what
disease you have. But I always felt I had all the diseases on earth, bcos every
little pain that is usually dismissed as nothing by a normal person, will be
the symptom of a thousand diseases to the paranoid wannabe biologist.
·
You can play with genes and
create a mutant organism!! That’s the coolest!
·
People might think you are
crazy. Actually, you might really be crazy! But isn’t Science worth giving up
ur sanity for!
·
The DNA might look boring to a
normal person. But a wannabe scientist knows that you can do cool things with
the DNA like fold it on itself to make smiley faces!!
"DNA folded back on itself to create shapes - DNA Origami"
·
You see bacteria everywhere.
You might be unnaturally clean and insist on washing hands every 5 mins or
totally dump cleanliness and live in a pig sty. There are none of them in-between.
But you will not get queasy working with disgusting looking mould or slimy
creatures.
·
You are usually dressed for comfort
over style. Usually sloppy but some Scientists kick ass with their fashion
sense.
·
Work under an actual scientist
for a while, and you will soon learn to swear under your breath!!! ;)
