Our birthday wishes come true – #WhyIDoScience results

We’ve blown out the candles and recovered from cake coma, so it’s time to share the amazing and thoughtful stories from our Science Exchange community!

We were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm and support from our users – many individuals were so passionate, they didn’t want to limit their response to 140 characters. As a result, we’ll be featuring their stories separately on the blog throughout the week.

Below are a few of our favorite tweets from our birthday bash:

@scienceexchange We are a very small part of a very large universe and to remain ignorant of how it works is a travesty. #WhyIDoScience
