We study roots

According to a BuzzFeed quiz, I am most like Marie Curie, a "persistent perfectionist" just like me! #science

Friendly reminder that #science is a continuous process. Even if you don't get the results you expected, that isn't failure! Fight on!

I think a really great scientist like me is #Queen 's Brian May - while he is primarily known for his musical work through the band, he is also an astrophysicist! Just goes to show you can balance your education and passion. #goat
