Fun. Technical fun, I usually say. I have technical fun. I think that life as an engineer... is really satisfying. To some degree, it can be like crafts work where you get to do things with your own hands or your own design or whatever your media is. It's very satisfying to be able to just do the work, unlike a lot of people who have to do something that they don't like doing.

I think engineers typically get to do something that they like, and there's a lot of satisfaction from that. In many cases, you can have impact on the world somehow because you've done something that other people admire, which is different from just the craft fun of building a thing. So that's a second thing. way that being an engineer is good.

I think the third thing is that if you're lucky to be working in a team where you're getting the benefit of other people's skills that are helping you do your thing, none of us has all the skills needed to do most of these projects. If you have a team where you're working well with the others, that can be very satisfying. And then if you're an engineer, you also usually get paid.

And so you kind of get paid four times in my view of the world. So what could be better than that?

I think it's both being a scientist or getting to use science at the same time as being kind of an artist or a creator. Scientists only get to study what's out there, and engineers get to make stuff that didn't exist before.

It's really, I think, a higher calling, even though I think most of the public out there think science is top and engineering is somehow secondary, but I think it's the other way around.

That is the art. Bringing metal to life or a machine to life is kind of... It was fun doing the dancing videos where it got a huge public response. We're going to do more. We're doing some at the Institute and we'll do more.
