"Why do Science?"

When your entire job is based around expanding knowledge, science is a bit like intellectual stargazing. And it's so much more. Applying "useful" science is a moral minefield, and not easy to define early in one's career. A lot of science seems to be expanding beyond 'blue-sky' research, and rather applying it to the real-world, issues, or solutions. It can be hard stargazing when all the facts and figures can make you equally cynical as well as enlightened, but the quest to expand the pursuit of knowledge keeps us here one way or another.
