"“Interest in science and an inquiring mind is critical. If you have these qualities and have the passion, tenacity and determination to pursue a career where you may not always get the desired answer but have the commitment to make a difference in the lives of people, albeit in a small way, then you should definitely pursue a science career. Love of the job, passion, drive and tenacity are critical traits to have for scientific excellence.”"
