No dilemma! For me, it all started with the egg. When I realized that everything a chick becomes—from feathers to bones—is in the yolk and white, I knew I wanted to study biochemistry.

I nominate @sarah-laing.bsky.social @lmluque.bsky.social @mollymckenzie.bsky.social

I became a scientist as I am fascinated by the complexity of biology. It’s amazing how much, and yet how little, we know.

I nominate @chrishalsey.bsky.social @joedwardswwcrc.bsky.social @ximeraffo.bsky.social
