I have been thinking a lot about the joy of science. Because science is seen as rational, scientists are often viewed as dispassionate by the general public and in the media. This is funny, because in my view scientists are some of the most passionate people I know. That passion typically comes with serious overtones but to me science is just fun. It is so great to have that aha! moment, to be able to explore the world, to create new technologies, to constantly learn new things. It's like being Indiana Jones and MacGyver only without the big rock or people trying to kill you. I think so often as scientists, especially in academia, we forget the joy of it. I hope that I always remember.
As Carl Sandburg once said, "Let joy kill you, stay away from the little deaths."

Science is so complicated for me so I can't even imagine myself a scientist. However, I think it's one of the most interesting jobs in the world. Even if your resume is made by resume writers nyc, it's not enough because you must have a talent for science and a stellar education. I agree that most scientists are very passionate about their job. Most likely, it's a wonderful feeling when you know that you take part in new discoveries and help to change the wold into the better.
This is a very interesting idea, because I am sure I have an option to use it in my research project. Unfortunately I do not have enough time to collect detailed statistics, with this will help me this website and I am sure because of this I will finish the project on time.
Hmm, that is a very good reminder to all scientists, who forget how to make fun and expore the world at the same time. I am scientist too, and when I do some work I always try to make it as possible as fun and intresting for me and other people! But when I dont have enough time for my experiments, I often use this service https://academic-consultants.com/coursework-writing/ cause its really perfect for my type of work.
