			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I visited the University Transitions Program at UBC.  I talked about what it&#8217;s like to be a young scientist, what I love about science, and the twisty turn-y path that I took from high school to where I am today.  </p>
<p>I had fun playing a game with the two classes I visited.  The game was to try and list as many three letter body parts as we could up in 5 seconds.  Eye, Ear, Lip, Hip, those are just a few!  <strong>How many more can you come up with?  </strong><br />
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://www.sciencegirl.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/human-body.jpg" alt="" title="human-body" width="500" height="179" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-28" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Illustrations by Cornelius De Witt. 1959. Golden Press.</p></div></p>
<p>The point of this game was that we worked together we came up with many more answers (one class came up with 13).  <strong>That&#8217;s exactly what I love about Science.</strong>  It&#8217;s all about working together.  When you&#8217;re sharing ideas and working collaboratively, you learn much more.  One of my favorite parts about Science is talking to people who have different expertise sets and sharing ideas to get a deeper understanding of the answers to our common challenges.</p>
