Why are you studying a physical science?

[vxn]

Hey folks! I notice that of all the other disciplines on "the menu" seem to have more active forums than this one. I'd love to cultivate a bigger and more poppin community here for those in the physical sciences to engage with.

So... let's introduce ourselves: what do you study and what attracted you to the physical sciences? 

I'll be studying geospatial science come Fall and have been fascinated by the physical sciences ever since I was a kid. I studied applied physics as an undergrad with the intent to go into astronomy, but later realized I wanted to change my career path to something earth / environmental science related. (I'm still interested in astronomy as a hobby, though!) The choice to study geospatial science was honestly on a whim, but I'm very excited to start. 

Your turn! ?

I just love science and that is all I can say.
