  Being a chemist, I also like a lot molecular biology, exoplanet science… and psychology!

  Yep. And not just science. I can’t actually think of anything I wouldn’t find interesting in one way or another…can you?

  Yes, the curiosity that drives most scientists isn’t limited to one area. Personally I love reading about some physics, because they are asking questions that are related to the very basis of our universe. Thankfully there are some really accessible sources of information about physics, as most of it is way too complicated for me. A really great person to look up is Carl Sagan.

  I’m interested in lots of different areas of science. Science (and human knowledge) is like a giant, connected web where everything is linked to everything else. I’ve found that finding out facts in one area of science sparks your interest and appreciation for a different area. Some of the most profound and important discoveries in science have come about when people ‘stuck together’ two areas of science to tackle a problem. This is one of the reasons why modern science is very dependent on people with different skills working together to overcome a problem – there’s simply too much interesting stuff for one person to know!

  Yes, I think most areas of science is interesting. Even though we are learning new things all the time, there is still so much we don’t know or understand. And what we learn in one area is often connected and helps us understand another. We can never have too many scientists 🙂

  Yes, I like learning about other cool stuff that people are working on. I find physics absolutely mind-blowing even though I don’t understand a lot of it.

  Yes! I’m trying to learn more about how vaccines work, which means learning about the immune system – it’s so complex but so interesting as well.
- Joey Shepherd answered on 5 Jun 2018:
  
  Yes definitely! I’m a microbiologist but I work with a lot of chemists and engineers so I need to have basic knowledge of they’re up to, and being interested makes it easier. I’m also currently reading (or trying to read – finding it a bit tricky) a book on quantum physics because I really want to understand that. I think being a scientist you are naturally curious and interested in most things.

  There are so many parts of science which is interesting. Everything from climate change, clean energy, cancer research and the way the mind works. What I’ve also become recently fascinated by is the bridge between art and science as well!

  Yes learning from other sciences and other wider disciplines you can always pick up great tips and techniques and learn for your area of interest

  For sure – I’m always really interested in neuroscience research. The brain totally fascinates me!
- Claire Donald answered on 8 Jun 2018:
  
  Absolutely! Just because it is not directly related to what I do does not make it interesting. I love going to science festivals to see the work other people are doing. I may not understand it all but some of it can be incredible!

  In all honesty, there are so many areas of science and other subjects that overlap… Take psychology for example, I love neuropsychology (very biological based about the brain), or there is social psychology (which incorporates Law), or sports psychology (biologically heavy about the body and brain) and the list goes on… I absolutely love psychology, but also physics is really incredible – from studying the largest galaxies, to the teeniest quark! There is so much about science that is simply fascinating, and that is why I love doing what I do, and working where I work.
