      Hey! Great question. I think about this a lot because sometimes it feels like everyone is cleverer than I am! But really I think that to be a good scientist, you need to be inquisitive and curious and persistent. Other things like problem-solving skills and an analytical mind may be useful, but if you are passionate about what you do and genuinely want to learn more about nature, then you’ll be a brilliant scientist!
