One of the fundamental questions that every researcher should determine is to define their research interest. This point is above even the specific definition of a research topic since it represents the whole direction in which one will develop in the future. Since this choice can affect one’s entire career, it should be made carefully and thoughtfully. The consequences of a hasty and ill-considered choice can be unfortunate, especially if a person chooses a path that does not suit them. That is why I paid a lot of attention to thinking about the topic of my research interest, trying to weigh all the positives and negatives carefully.
After conducting this kind of analysis and assessing my desires and abilities in detail, I concluded that the most exciting topic for me in the context of my research interest is laboratory management. At first glance, many more fascinating directions focus on solving science-related problems. However, from my point of view, none of the current and contemporary issues can be fully solved without using laboratories and the skillful management of laboratory equipment. It should be understood that despite all achievements of technological progress, no equipment is capable of fully functioning and, even more so, of producing suitable results without human intervention. The person in charge of the laboratory is responsible for the precise execution of the procedures and the correct interpretation of the results, ultimately allowing discoveries to be made.
Thus, I want to be a person who contributes to science through meticulous work and interaction with precision equipment. Since I have always been good with machinery and have a penchant for using tools to learn about the world around me, I believe that this research interest should be my scientific path. From my point of view, this is how I can do my best for science and most fully realize myself as a person.
