Question: What advice would you give to a young person hoping to be a scinetist?

Great to hear you’re hoping to be a scientist! My advice would be do lots of the science you enjoy! For example, you could read popular science books and watch documentaries on subject in science that interest you. It’s also important to work hard in science and maths lessons at school and try to get good marks in your exams. Don’t worry if you can’t remember everything though! It’s more important to understand the concepts and ask interesting questions than to remember facts. Good luck!
