My video was insipred by National Geographic when I was looking at their post about science discovers made in the past century. I found cerebral organoids the most interesting since I couldn't believe that scientists have already achieved what seemed to be in the far future. Even through there still are some issues with cerebral organoids, I believe that they are the key to discovering more about our brains in order to prevent neural disorders in the future.
I think life sciences is important since our body is absolutely brilliant. We breath, walk, talk, and perform functions which no other being can. Which is why it is important to understand our bodies better, and scientists have always discovered new information about our bodies.
From Alexander Fleming discovering penicillin to Robert Hooke discovering the cell, life science offers an incredible field to study. This discovery about cerebral organoids can be useful in several ways, at disease prevention, studying disorders, and building other future discoveries.
The Breakthrough Challenge opened my mind to the limitless opportunities that life science offers, thus I am happy to state that I will be pursuing neuroscience research as my career.
I am interested in pursuing medicine, specifically neuroscience research. For my fifth grade graduation, I was asked a similar question, to which I answered with one word: doctor. Now, almost six years later, my answer remains the same. One day I hope to stand in my official lab coat holding my fifth grade graduation poster of my dressed up as a doctor, to inspire other generations to be loyal to their goals and dreams.
As Carl Sagan once said, "somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be found." And I am determined to discover the incredible possibilities life science offers.
