I am a kind person who, in general, likes to help people. That is what I do everyday through my research, so I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's the broad goals that really matter.

For one thing, what if your work starts to go badly? A series of failure -- papers rejected, grants unfunded, etc. -- would make your self worth go down the tubes. I also think life is more interesting with some variety. I agree with you. For one thing, what if your work starts to go badly?

My work isn't related to the obvious parts of my identity- i.e., gender, ethnicity, etc. However, I have found it interesting how much being a scientist has become an important part of my identity, so much so that I struggle a bit with the fact that my work is taking me further and further away from actual research. I switched jobs recently in an attempt to stay more of a scientist. Also, my gender identity is the opposite of what people expect for my field. A funny example of that- my husband sent me a link to a program that analyzes your browser history and tries to guess your gender. According to this program, there is an 80% chance that I am male.
