      When I was a child, I watched the movie Back to the Future and instantly wanted to become a scientist. But the path from dream to reality was a complex one which required me to study abroad (in the US) to do my bachelors in physics and mathematics. Once I completed my uni studies, I was finally started my work as a scientist in 2013. I have been working as a scientist for more than 6 years now, and it is super fun!

      I hope this makes some sense. Feel free to ask a follow-up question for more details 🙂
