I got interested in chemistry during my early high school years when I build my own little laboratory in the basement of my parent’s home. There I mixed my first gunpowder, cooked up fruit esters and started crude chemical separations. This motivated me to take part in some science lab competitions where I started to love the creativity and fun to plan your own experiments. Later in my teenage years, I also got interested in genetics and biotechnology that finally convinced me not to study chemistry but biology, thinking that there are more open basic question to answer. At that time I was sure I would end up in microbiology or basic genetics. The brain seemed to me excessively complicated to understand. Sometimes I am still daunted by the amazing complexity of brains and I think that I was at least not totally mistaken at that time. But can there be anything more fascinating that that strange organ between your ears that makes you think, feel and dream.
