The 5 best reasons to say #IAmAScientistBecause
Social Media and Science – that’s a combination which
isn’t often heard together, unless you want to get back into the science of the
dress… However, over the last few days the Science side of Twitter has
seen a sudden surge in the form of #IAmAScientistBecause.

The last time Scientists saw any Viral Media they were discussing H1N1,
so anything that takes a light look at the pros of being a scientist, without
all the gloom and doom of a porky apocalypse, is certainly a step in the right
direction.
Not being a regular writer for this blog, but as the Offices' resident Scientist I was compelled to write about the 5 best reasons I have seen for people being
Scientists.
So the first one I saw upon waking up - and it's quite possibly most
people's favourite:
#IAmAScientistBecause there are moments when I learn something in the lab and think, I'm the only human that knows this right now

We're far from still being in the Age of Enlightenment but
discoveries are being made at an incredible
pace. I can't open my Facebook page nowadays without having amazing
inventions being screamed at me by my most loved Science pages.
The second is certainly for the optimists:
Now, I have a lot of job flexibility - like being allowed to write articles about Science instead of focusing on my set 9-5 - but this next one is definitely perk for when I move back into a Science Career:

#IAmAScientistBecause Science turns "I don't know" into "I don't know... yet" and you won't find anything more empowering than that.

We don't know what Dark Matter is... yet.
The Third is a feeling I miss from my University Lab Days:
#IAmAScientistBecause wearing a lab coat all day is comfy and is very similar to wearing a dressing gown 😝

The Safety Goggle's aren't as comfortable however!Now, I have a lot of job flexibility - like being allowed to write articles about Science instead of focusing on my set 9-5 - but this next one is definitely perk for when I move back into a Science Career:
#IAmAScientistBecause there aren't many careers where "insatiable curiosity" is a pro not a con

Picking a final Tweet is certainly difficult, mainly
because I can't spend too much time on twitter without becoming caught up in
the kind words, inspirational stories, and the amazing pictures people have been posting from their
field work. Finally I settled on this one:
#IAmAScientistBecause I was lucky to be a little girl who was told I could be anything I wanted when I grew up & here I am a #womaninscience
— Jordan E. Rutter (@JERutter) April 5, 2015
This might be one of my favourites because it
demonstrates that Science doesn't just change the lives of the millions of
people it helps with new discoveries - but also the Scientists.
I know Science changed my life - after all #IAmAScientistBecause I want to save the world. Not
many other professions let you enter with the same motives as your favourite Comic
