There might be some probable reasons for what and who inspired you to choose your field of research.
Please share your experience.
I chose plant immunity when I discovered that, in Africa, acacia trees could defend themselves against giraffes by sending ethylene in the air. One attacked tree warns the others by emitting hormone which triggers the production of anti-digestion proteins, toxic for the animals. Just amazing !
My inspiration is myself. I always attracted by nature. i want to see every person healthy. So i want to serve society with my research through pollution free environment and with natural herbs.
Recent socio-scientific status of the world and also my point of interest.

The intellectual satisfaction and joy one experiences while discovering new things and unraveling the secrets of nature got me hooked on to scientific research, especially in the field of biology. Another reason I took up research in biological sciences in the very fact that in the entire universe, only earth supports life as we know it. While the laws of physics and chemistry are uniform and apply everywhere in the universe, life exists only on earth. Thus if one does not study this unique phenomenon called life, then I guess it would be a disaster....
For me perhaps, the field chose me and now i like plant tissue culture very much even i have a lot of problems to establish a good protocol for chickpea
I agree with some expected answers above like interesting . . . but Sometime, the novelty of something, the environment you grew up . . . affects your interesting!
I believe that the fascination with the research field is critical to maintaining the pleasure and the pursuit of knowledge, and help overcome difficulties. If you love what you do, therefore will do well! I'm a herpetologist and since very young I became interested in the search field.
I was attrached to biology since 7 years old when I went to zoo for the first time. In the next travel school to the zoo I writted all animals name and asked for help to my friends. All animal albums and collections that appeared I purchased. During the vocational test in middle school rised an affinit of 70% to biology. Nowadays its possible to answer all doubts in biology, nature and sciences reading articles, and make good jobs with scientific basis. With biology and sciences its possible to understand a little bit the beautiful of life.
Because as i child i played with insects so liked them and got in the field. Nature is best fellow if you may focus
During my college study I adore the insects world and the purpose which made me joined the field of Zoology was a sentence said by Dr. Mounier El-Husseiny "the insect pest is an enemy shares you the food source (plant) so, getting a great knowledge of your enemy means eliminate and control its power. Also, there is no meaning of the word KILLING an organism because insects are more older than humans in the planet Earth, so that we use the word CONTROL.'
After these lecture i decided to go deeply in the Entomology, day after day I chosed Acarology as a field of study and career.
In fact to study in Botany was my compulsion as I did not get chance in Agriculture in West Bengal. But I have chosen Plant Pathology because I have noticed that Plant are not able to speak their problem we have to diagnose them by seeing the symptoms of the disease.
At the minute I have so many options, I am in the final year of my degree with a dissertation based around alternative control of damping off from a Pythium isolate that was sourced from a local commercial glass house. Plant pathology is off great intrest to myself, ethnobotany facinates me but the path I desire to follow leads to phytoremediation. Let's hope I can gain a 1st in my degree to get me on to a Masters program.
