It has been a year since I started writing my Graduate Journal (A) ______ for Nature jobs. The past 12 months have been marked with fundamental changes and fundamental (B) ______ , both of which I’m glad to have experienced. When I enrolled in my master’s course at Oxford last year, I had come straight from medical school with the decision to leave clinical science for good. Thinking back, I realize that I didn’t put weight very much on this decision at the time. But today, I more clearly understand the (C)______ of leaving my original profession. When I meet old friends who are now physicians and surgeons, I sense how our views on medical problems have diverged. They scrutinize the effects of disease and try to eliminate or alleviate them; I try to understand how they come about in the first place.

I certainly find myself thinking this way in day-to-day life; it’s easy to be (B)________ by the face nature reveals directly to our senses. Yet, in the decades since first (C) ________ Camus’ text, I’ve learned that modem science tells a very different story. The overarching lesson that has emerged from scientific inquiry over the last century is that human experience is often a (D) ________ guide to the true nature of reality.
