I also dreamed of being a scientist. I loved magic school bus, bill nye, reading science books and encyclopedias. But then I discovered computers, and that drew my attention for, say, a decade and change. I started programming and didn't stop. I kinda forgot about science. But at 27, I now I work as a research software engineer in neuroscience, with some of the smartest people I've ever met, on some of the hardest problems I've ever worked on. I would be foolish to think the path won't continue to curve, but I think things just have a funny way of working out. I've been really blessed to have the career I've had so far, and I'm having a ton of fun. Can't wait to see where things go next.
