My favorite science experience is seeing a paper finally in print or giving a presentation to a large group and sensing their interest and excitement. The process of planning and conducting research is long and painstaking. One has to be patient because results don’t come quickly. However, the joy of seeing a project completed and knowing that it is valued by others is very gratifying.
