Hey Kellis, not too sure what you mean by this? I’d say I’m still relatively early in my career – I have been working for about 6 years but in that time I’ve had 3 jobs constantly trying to push myself forward. I chose to follow this career because I really love being involved in drug discovery and the thought of being involved in making a new medicine really motivates me! I hope this answers your question, if not let me know!

I guess the simple answer is that I enjoyed it and was good at it…

NEW findings and new puzzle to solve drove me further in my career. However, it did not happen in one day.
I had hesitations in the beginning as I never did high pressure research or crystallography before. I gained confidence and became interested in my research slowly over the years.
I was offered a PhD position on superconductivity. I was very excited as the project was to make new form of carbon. We were not able to make our dream compound but I found many other interesting compounds on the way. Most of them was made using high pressure. I made the new compounds and solved their structures. This is how I became a high pressure scientist and a crystallographer.
Hesitations are normal. If you have those , nothing to worry about. It will be all gone with experience and time.
