Imagine holding the power to change the world with your mind — that’s what science gives you!

As a scientist from who struggled with my past😭😭, I want every young person dreaming of science to hear this: you don’t need to be a genius, or rich, or perfect — you just need to be curious, consistent, and courageous.

Here’s my advice, straight from the heart:

Never stop asking questions. Every great invention began with someone wondering “why?” or “what if?” Your curiosity is your greatest tool — sharpen it.

Start small, think big. You don’t need a big lab to be a scientist. Start with simple experiments at home or school. Observe the world. Solve small problems. That’s how big innovations are born.

Don’t fear failure — study it. Every failure is a hidden lesson. Scientists fail all the time — it’s how we learn. What matters is what you do after the failure.
