"Tell a story," my mother instructs her graduate students as they prepare their talks. I will make use of her advice here, and will tell several short stories. The themes revolve around the practice of science-what motivates us to go into science and how we choose questions once we get there. I also touch on progress in scientific tools, teaching, good mentors, and good colleagues, all of which contribute to making a career in science constantly compelling.
“讲故事,”我的母亲指导她的研究生,因为他们准备他们的谈话。我将在这里利用她的建议,并将讲述几个小故事。主题围绕着科学实践——激励我们进入科学的动力是什么,以及一旦进入科学,我们如何选择问题。我还谈到了科学工具、教学、优秀导师和优秀同事的进步,所有这些都有助于使科学事业不断引人注目。
