-: I am a nerd at heart, so I love science.
I love just the art of being curious.
You know, I've always been a curious person
and I think I really found my niche of--
you know, you get to ask these weird, off-the-wall questions
where, "Oh, okay! Wonder why that's happening?"
and then we have resources to actually go and find out
why that's happening.
So, it's an interesting thing.
I just love the being able to ask questions.
And then what's really cool is
when you work with such brilliant people,
and if you don't know the answer,
somebody around you knows the answer.
So it's like being in a hub of all these
really smart people, and it's--
you can create all these awesome ideas
and run with it and it's just amazing.
Biggest challenge at my current role would probably be
I would say, the amount of people that are on one project.
So, it's like good and bad, right?
So you have all these people that are assigned
to tackle a task,
or a question,
or develop a new gene.
So you have all these people, right?
You have all these great minds, all these ideas,
but then the challenge comes in: how do you coordinate
all these great minds, great ideas,
to develop one hypotheses, or two or three,
and then drive it home?
So there's so many people and so many great ideas it's
the challenge is how do you pick the one to go after?
