Are there any Chemists out there? What inspired your interest in Chemistry?

Answer 1

Probably {at an early age} mixing salt and water and seeing crystals form. Maybe watching someone cook but not understanding food recipes? Playing with food dyes?

After I got my first chemistry set, I could 'do things' that no one else understood. Later it was fun to make colors, oscillators, rockets, firecrackers, etc.

Some say curiosity is concentration without insight?

Answer 2

I have always been amazed in living things and what makes this and everything else possible. Studying chemistry gave me insight it this. Working in lab and understanding what is happening on a molecular level and seeing it in its physical form is very fulfilling.
Taking this from an academic level and applying it to a beneficial use enables one to contribute to society.
If you want to be a chemist you must firstly enjoy it and secondly be able to master it. To do this you have to keep learning.

Answer 3

For boys, I suppose it's the natural interest in "blowing things up". :)
I think there are those who are born with it. I was, for sure. Just the thought that you can manipulate and make what you want, and the natural appeal of the problem solving. I think you're truly born with it.

Answer 4

i dont want to talk about it.......
