      Well, science has helped me in innumerable ways. But I would have to say that the main way that science has helped me is by keeping me alive. In the recent past, many people died due to infection, injury, or due to not understanding that clean water and good hygeine are critical for keeping people healthy. Science is how we discovered antibiotics, how to process water to make sure it doesn’t make people sick, and how to keep food from rotting. I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today if I was dead! 😉

      Agree with Nancy, and on a more personal level, science is the very reason I have a job. Without scientific methods, we wouldn’t be able to explore the world in an organised way, and research as a career would be completely different.
