 Antonija Paić, LANGUAGE EDITOR
My love for reading began very early. As a kid I used to read anything I could get my hands on – mostly adventures and detective stories. And I watched a lot of Hollywood catastrophe movies, which made me want to become a seismologist, predict earthquakes and climb volcanoes. After high school, my love for reading (and not-so-good marks in physics) prevailed and I decided to study Comparative Literature and English Language instead of seismology. I still read a lot. Only, since I started working for the Croatian Medical Journal, my reading has been consisting mostly of scientific articles. However, I realized that they also can be an interesting read and making them more readable for other people an interesting job.
