Science is a field of optimism - it believes in the change of a once inevitable future. The people fueling its progress dedicate entire livelihoods to loving those beyond their immediate communities, sometimes even loving things and beings that have not been given a name.
How does that willingness to constantly come face-to-face with the unknown develop? How does affection arise in a world of idiosyncrasies, all of which have no guarantee of being resolved? From falling in love with the field to all the pivotal moments in research that have shed new light on the meaning of love, Men's Folio invite three humans of science to share in their words, what to them lies at the heart of science.
