Hello All, I am a recent UCLA grad with a B.S. in Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution. I love learning about science and research, and I am especially interested in Vertebrate Morphology. I feel like grad school is the best future for me, but there is one question that always bites me when I think about the future: What is the true "point" of all this scientific research? I know that without this knowledge there are several important advancements we as humans couldn't have made. I know that fields like conservation and ecology are especially important in terms of mitigating the impact humans have on the environment. However, I am still torn. I come from a background of serving others as much as possible, so to join a field that seems less service-oriented is hard for me. If anyone can help me get over this issue with some kind advice or specific examples, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to email me personally, unless this issue is something others feel as well. Thanks a lot!
