Science is a career where you do what you love everyday. Our science is built on the shoulders of those who came before us, and in turn we provide shoulders for our students and colleagues to build upon. Of course, seeing the seeds of ideas that we plant bear fruit as interesting science is why I love being a scientist. Looking back it also has been a particularly gratifying challenge to mentor members of the younger generation in building their careers.
科学是一项可以让你每天都做自己热爱的事情的职业。我们的科学建立在前人肩膀上,而我们也为学生和同事提供了进一步发展的基础。当然,看到我们种下的想法之种结出有趣的科学果实,这就是我热爱成为科学家的原因。回顾过去,指导年轻一代成员建立他们的职业生涯也是一个特别有意义的挑战。
