      There is always something new to learn in science (and in my area biochemistry). Even if we discovered how to “cure” cancer (all the different types), there are still many new discoveries to be made about exactly how our cells work (on their own, together- or in children, adults, the elderly… cells in each work in different ways).

      I would love to see what space travel does to all the things i look at!

      So no fear there, plenty to do for a long time yet!

      I don’t think we’ll completely solve every mystery in my field in my lifetime, there are always more questions to answer!

      The beauty of science is that when you solve one thing, it always opens up a million other things to look at and investigate!! Its a never ending series of questions and mysteries

      We are constantly working on many projects, and one usually naturally leads to another avenue of research.
