      Yes.
      If I read something, or someone tells me something- I often need the supporting evidence before I completely believe it.
      With this attitude, I find a lot of the things I see reported on the internet, and even in the newspapers, aren’t backed up with enough evidence and might not be completely accurate.

      Yes I have definitely gained a lot of insight and the way I look at some things is definitely different. I absolutely love my job.

      I really love my job- today I had a great day answering to questions like this and preparing for teaching at the lecture next week!

      Similarly to Megan, science has helped me to be more critical and skeptical. I really now question everything I read /hear! Following from that, I now also try to offer people better explanations and full answer instead of expecting them to take my answers face value.

      Yes I do enjoy my job! And it has changed my opinions, it has helped me to be more critical and also read more into different subjects to find out more evidence or what else could be going on!
