      Hi,

      I always was curious about how the planet and animals work from my early years onward. I read lots of books about how things work and I always annoyed my parents with lots of questions :-).

      In school I then realized that in Biology class I do not have to learn much because it all came to me with ease. I always understood the topics and never had to memorize much as it always stuck immediately. This eventually led me to study Biology at university. So, I think I was given a talent for science and I was lucky enough to be able to pursue it.

      Of course, I still had to learn a lot over the years, but it was always much easier then other courses at school or university, and to this day I still love what I am doing.
