      Yes it does. 🙂

      I feel quite inspired about the work scientists have done before me, they found out the fundamental things that makes it possible for me to do the research I do today.

      I also get inspiration from the problems I try to solve. I have always done research in the area of understanding how diseases work and how to find new treatments for those diseases. I know that the discoveries I make increase the knowledge people have about the diseases and treatments and this could eventually lead to new treatments that could save people’s lives.

      I’m not sure there can be a better inspiration 🙂

      Do you feel inspired by science?
