Science

Biological sciences were my favorite subject in college. For many years, I was majoring in Microbiology to become a Parasitology researcher. Science has done a lot more for me than provide endless topics of fascination.  


Science has:

·  Taught me critical thinking and problem solving skills

·  Taught me the importance of evidence-based peer-reviewed research and double-blind clinical trials

·  Shown me how to decipher between good and bad information, apply skepticism and not be fooled by pseudoscience and marketing ploys

·  Shown me what motivates human behavior through evolutionary biology  

·  Given me an appreciation for statistics and how frequently they are misused by the public 

·  Given me the ability to expose logical fallacies and win arguments

·  Granted me a sense of security in not knowing all the answers to life’s big questions 

·  Moved me from a narrow view of the world and to an ever growing love of learning
