I am inspired by people that remain kind even after facing hardship. Life can deal its blows, and great strife can duly leave people with bitterness and cynicism in their heart. Those who strive to be noble and find strength in kindness even after experiencing great tragedy are truly commendable in my eyes.

I'm inspired by my late father, who always cared for others as a nurse and did his best to plaster smiles on people's faces.

I'm inspired by the prospect of being part of a larger scientific body that's committed to the conservation of our biodiversity. My aspirations to be kind are derived from my desire to perpetuate my father's legacy, and it far transcends human boundaries. I believe all living beings deserve to be shown benevolence and have a rightful place in our ecosystems. I have an especially soft spot for the overlooked and underappreciated critters, and am committed to protecting them just as much as the more charismatic animals that our attention is usually drawn to.

What inspires you?
