I became a scientist as I love solving puzzles. Biology is full of them.

I nominate @jaqblu.bsky.social @emmacparsons.bsky.social @sarasuperior.bsky.social

I became a scientist as I am fascinated by the complexity of biology. It’s amazing how much, and yet how little, we know.

I nominate @chrishalsey.bsky.social @joedwardswwcrc.bsky.social @ximeraffo.bsky.social
