I choose science, i choose to ask question that might not be answered, or better yet that no one thought are ask-able. I rarely agree to get 'NO can do" as an answer, instead of explaining "why not" to do something, i choose to say "Why not?! let's do it". I came to UCSF, becuase i felt the later question floating in the air everywhere.
