Health Risks of Being a Scientist?
Hi I'm only 14 and I want to pursue the study of HIV/Cancer when I grow up, but I was wondering what health risks came along with it. I'm not talking about death threats or outside forces like that, but actual health risks like cancer ect. that comes with it. For example, Marie Curie died due to her involvement in radioactive material, Rosalind Franklin died from cancer due to her x-ray involvement. Could that happen if I tried to study the HIV virus and help look for a cure? Or even cancers? Any help or answers you could come up with backed up by actual evidence would be greatly appreciated.

By the time you're ready to get into that field, there's a good chance that it will be simple maintenance, rather than real study.
