      There is no such stereotype of who should be a scientist…when people often see me they get me confused for a student but do not realise I am a scientist! A scientist is someone who would is passinate about making change and challenging ideas…

      YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      There are so many careers available in science-not just doing research but also teaching, managing projects, building equipment, testing equipment, doing public outreach, lobbying the government for funding. (I’m sure there are plenty more…)

      Keep an open mind. Attend careers talks. Speak to people. Ask questions. There is a role for everyone to play in science 🙂

      Hi @827sped32 I would say yes if you enjoy science at school!! I would persue a career in an area you really enjoy, that way you are guaranteed to succeed

      Hi @827sped32 and @JoeL13. I think most of people have a potential scientist inside! Are you curious about everything that surrounds you? Then you can be a scientist. Keep you career options open and do something you are passionate about. There is nothing like having a job that you really enjoy…it does not feel like having a job! 😀
