For example, Charles Darwin, discovered the theory of evolution, because he wanted to understand how all the animals and plants that he saw around him came into being. It turned out that the theory of evolution was essential for modern medicine and biology, there would be no modern medicine or biology without discovery. But that that wasn't on his mind when he came up with the theory.
Similarly, Albert Einstein discovered the relativity, something because he wanted to understand gravity. It turned out later that the theory of relativity is absolutely essential. The GPS technology, we wouldn't have GPS without him, without the theory of of relativity. But Einstein didn't know that at the time, he just was curious, and he wanted to know how gravity works.
One more example, Marie Curie was fascinated by the radio activity. That, the element radium gives off. And this led to her discovery of radium, which became essential for all of our modern atomic energy, but that wasn't on Madame Curie's mind, she just wanted to understand where this radio activity is coming from.
Take to tell you a little bit about how I got into economics, how I got into science myself.
When I went to university, I didn't even know what economics was. In fact, I thought I was going to be a mathematician. I spent my time at university studying mathematics, which I loved, it's a beautiful subject. And I was very happy doing it, and I probably would have kept on doing it if I hadn't had the opportunity quite by accidents of going to a lecture course, on economics.
Interestingly, this lecture course was given by the man who later became my PhD supervisor. I thought the lectures were fascinating, and they showed me a subject like economics has, in a sense, the best of both worlds because it allows you to study problems of great social importance, such as solving inequality, trying to end recessions. It looks at these questions from a mathematical point of view. You can use the power and the rigor of mathematics to answer these important social questions. I thought that was an unbeatable combination.
As a result of that, I change direction, and I decided that I was going to study economics, and I ended up getting a PhD with the the same guy who gave electric course. And I was very glad I did that.
Let me suggest this. Keep an open mind, even if you think you know what subjects you would like to study. Always be prepared. Try something else if the opportunity arises. And remember that whatever you do, whether it turns out to be science or something outside of science, the important thing is for you to enjoy what you're doing. Science. It's a lot of fun.
I would encourage you to think about science. But even if you end up outside science, it's important that the path you take is the one that is personally rewarding.
Let me stop there. And let me thank you for your attention.
