firm may stimulate ideas for research on heart disease at a neighboring firm, perhaps as

employees change jobs over time or communicate with colleagues in other companies. Based

Scientific Research is a crapshoot. you can rarely predict the outcome and ypu never know what you might discover. Scientists try to focus their investigations on uncharted and mysterious venues because they are inquisitive and because they wantt to go where no one has gone before. Scientists stumble onto result unexpected that they change accepted scientific beliefs. these discoveries can be driven by scientfic brilliance but more commonly its luck.

Reflect on the paragraph: How does this relate to your experience and knowlege of science? How does this frame your future as a scientistin nomatter your planned field i.e. if you desire to be a practicing physician, how does it impact the way you practice? what if you desire to be a research scientist?
