I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.
I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it.

I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects.
