What is science to you?:
Science is not only the very specific detailed research conducted by researchers, but it also includes just being curious and asking questions about the natural world. I think the idea behind science is just wanting to know how things work, and anyone can ask these types of questions. So really science is for all of us!
I care about the environment, and helping people learn about our planet so they can take better care of it and I really love chocolate, especially brownies.

My laptop and my cell phone.

Video conference systems... it's a long story, just trust me on this one.
How do you use math in your daily life?:
