I don't think I'm near as clever as any famous scientist. As for personality, I like Einstein's humanitarian side the most, but I'm probably more of a narcissist, like Feynman.

Do you mean that you would play with boats in the bathtub, or that you would run naked through the streets?

Definitely Albert Einstein. I have bad hair day whenever I get up in the mornings, and also I am good at only physics and mathematics (along with other subjects such as music), but everything else seemed to me very hard to comprehend!

What famous scientist reminds you of yourself?

As a scientist, I am often asked which famous scientist I identify with. Here are the top 5 most commonly asked questions about this topic:

1. Who is your biggest inspiration as a scientist?

My biggest inspiration as a scientist is Marie Curie. Her groundbreaking work in radioactivity and her determination to succeed in a male-dominated field inspire me to push boundaries and make meaningful contributions to the scientific community.

2. Which scientist do you think shares your approach to research?

I believe my approach to research is similar to that of Charles Darwin. Like him, I am curious, observant, and constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and understanding of the natural world.

3. Is there a scientist whose personality you feel reflects your own?

I would say that my personality aligns with that of Albert Einstein. Like him, I am a deep thinker, always questioning and challenging ideas, and I have a strong sense of curiosity and imagination.

4. Which scientist do you think has had the most impact on your field of study?

The scientist who has had the most impact on my field of study is Rosalind Franklin. Her groundbreaking research on the structure of DNA paved the way for our current understanding of genetics and her dedication to her work inspires me to always strive for excellence in my own research.

5. Are there any lesser-known scientists who have influenced your work?

Yes, there are many lesser-known scientists who have influenced my work. One example is Chien-Shiung Wu, a Chinese-American physicist who made significant contributions to the field of nuclear physics and was a pioneer for women in science. Her perseverance and determination in the face of discrimination continue to inspire me to break barriers and make a difference in my own field.
