      Hi,
      Absolutely!! There are some science topics which I still find really boring (even in the field of Space science). I don’t know a single scientist that doesn’t find some science topics incredibly dull. I remember when I was still a student and I was learning lots of boring equations thinking when I am every going to need these (turns out I did, 15 years later when I was teaching students of my own!).
      At school I really didn’t like biology much and still don’t (plants, chlorophyll etc. – so boring). But then I know there are scientists who study that for a living and probably find space physics very dull.
