Stopping time is the best superpower it will allow me to get everything done when it needs to be done!
What would your alternative career be?
If I hadn’t gone into natural sciences I would have probably tried to be a professional editor, it was a cool hobby I had when I was younger and to time to time I like to revisit videos that I’ve done.
