Your question is Motivations for Your Research. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
What are your motivations for your research? Explain what initially drew you to this area, which questions continue to hold your attention, and how your motivation influences the problems you choose to pursue. We are looking for a specific, thoughtful answer that connects your interests to the potential impact of the work, including how your motivations have evolved through evidence, setbacks, or feedback. Avoid describing only the field's importance; explain your personal reasons for pursuing these research questions and how you evaluate whether a direction is worth sustained effort.
