• Profile Question 1

  When and why did you decide to go into a science career?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):

  I decided to further my studies as a young ecologist after going on a field course in the Philippines and to Tioman Island during my undergraduate years, because there is still so much to learn about the Nature around us and I want to gain the skills during the course of my studies to be engaged in meaningful research to finally give back to the environment.

  Can you describe your attitude toward science when you were in high school?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 2 here (300 words):

  Honestly, I did not expect myself to go into a science career when I was in high school!! Science lessons were very very cool and I love going about the experiments and doing some cool inventions of some sort. But I guess, having the right attitude and the desire to learn more helped to sustain and develop my interest in science!

  
  
• Profile Question 3

  What is your favorite plant? Why?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 3 here (300 words):

  Plants from the Tillandsia genus! Or just air plants. These are really awesome since they can grow without any soil and they look so pretty! There is a great sense of achievement if you managed to care for it well and when it eventually blooms.
