His Core Scientific Vision and Goals:
Advancing Expertise and Knowledge: The primary goal of science is to expand our understanding of the natural world. My aim is to uncover new phenomena, establish deep relationships, and develop theories and models that explain observed phenomena of existence.
Solving Real-world Problems: Science is often directed towards solving practical problems and addressing societal challenges. This includes areas such as medicine, technology, environmental conservation, and more.
Collaboration and Research: In the modern scientific realm, collaboration and interdisciplinary research are highly valued. Scientists from various fields work together to tackle complex problems that require diverse expertise. Which in my view, is like putting together small pieces collectively of a large puzzle.
Open Access and Sharing: Openness and the free exchange of scientific information are important for the progress of science. Many researchers advocate for open-access publications and data sharing to ensure that knowledge is accessible to a broad audience.
