I like being a scientist because I get to explore and learn about the natural world. Nature is like a bottomless treasure chest, full of surprises and mysteries. It is fun to try to unravel those mysteries. It is important for humans to find ways to use the gifts of nature without damaging the environment, and also to repair the damage that we have already caused.
