Everytime I think "I am so glad I made this decision", it fills my heart with incomparable warmth and my body with a rush of adrenalin. Ever seen videos of people being shot out of cannons? That's the thrill I feel - the thrill of being the shot-from-the-cannon-chick, soaring high up above everyone and then after a few moments, parachuting calmly back down to earth.
Why did I decide to move across half the world? Because of the work, the technology, the vibrant intellectual atmosphere where I am working. I love being mentally stimulated. An atmosphere that feeds my ambitious spirit and curious mind, spurs my desires of developing new ideas and coming up with multiple visions of the way the world can change positively in the future is what I was after. And, that I have found here.
So what do I do? You might know the words - robotics/medical robotics but I think it would be easiest to say, this (random company) is the area I am working in. This, is an event I will be participating in. Next week, I have a workshop to attend with some of the experts in the new area I have started working in. The week after, I am attending a lecture being given by the second fellow on this page. No, my work is not related to human DNA in anyway. But I am curious.
I am curious about how stuff works and how stuff is and what stuff becomes etc. So, irrespective of the area, I like to read information or watch documentaries about different things. Last year, I saw a documentary on the human DNA and how the double helix structure was discovered by two very young scientists. It was a rather riveting documentary unlike most documentaries that can bore to tears. So I was more than delighted when I received a free invite to the lecture being given by the very honoured gentleman.
Yes, coming here, was the right decision.

And hello? You forgot to mention that you live in the same country as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Ssshhhhhh! Don't blow my cover!! ;o)
hahaha!!! (I'm laughing at Little Miss Heather's comment, not at your post!)
My DrOK has a PhD in materials science and I remember him taking a course in some kind of similar type of thing (ok, don't get cross with me, I am an arty bod with a languages degree rather than science/engineering, I just don't understand such technical stuff!)
I am envious of you, really I am, you are doing something which is stimulating and exciting. Lucky thing! (Being a mum is fulfilling and all that, but it doesn't work the grey matter!)
what? and I thought my post was funny. Hmmmph.
Materials come into play if you think about conductive fabrics and wearable garments with sensors woven in them. :) So he might have done a workshop on that theme.
And Clare, it's only a little bit of luck. Most of it is my insane motivation and drive to do all the hard work and not give up...
For me, being a parent is like the most difficult task that I am not cut out for at all. Science? It is easy in comparison.
I know what you mean about loving mental stimulus. But then again, I'm ready to leave school and get to read books for fun again, books I enjoy.
