I never really wanted to be a physicist. As a kid I wanted to be a biologist, because I wanted to figure things out. I was always asking questions. Asking about the color of the grass leads to asking about the origin of the universe. Physics is the one thing that comes closest to answering all the questions, and once I started studying it I knew it was the right choice. The best experience was working at Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Ontario, Canada, as Art McDonald and the collaboration were publishing their final analyses on neutrino oscillations. It shows you that with enough determination a lot of things can be achieved.
