Question: What are the key skill you need to be a scientist?

Curiosity. You can be the smartest person in the world, but the person who asks the most questions will gain the most knowledge, and knowledge is power! We also have a saying that I hear a lot in my job which is ‘There is no such thing as a stupid question’. It’s better to ask and find out how to do something right, even if it seems really simple, than pretend you know what you’re doing when you don’t, which can cause harm and be unsafe.
