Astrophysicist/Engineer I like the challenge of discovering new things. It's both fun and frustrating, exciting and irritating to figure out how to make a computerprogram do what you want, and to analyze data and find out something you didn't know before.

Eugene Chiang
Professor At first, the stars gave Eugene Chiang the cold shoulder. Chiang, then 12, would haul his telescope out at night on Long Island, New York, only to find his view wrecked by city lights or tall trees. On many nights, the cold drove him inside. So he became a theorist instead.
