Characteristics of an excellent scientist
The Free Dictionary defines(定义)a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science. 11 Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist.
Curiosity
12 Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. If a scientist doesn’t have the drive to ask questions or even wonder, then he/she never gets to the first stage of the scientific process.
Patience
13 There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. Even if you think you have received some education on science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification (及时满足的) type of person, this may not be the best choice for you.
Ethical(道德的)qualities
In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment and living things, since they are all linked and they can affect one another in the long run. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal or outside commercial(商业的)interests. Sticking to an old belief contradicted(反驳)by evidence is dishonest. 14
Working habits
An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation, keeping it in mind and recording it. 15 He/She also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking skills connect him/her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/she may discover something new.
A.Becoming a scientist takes a long time.
B.An excellent scientist must be very curious about things.
C.It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods.
D.However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.
E.He/She can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed.
F.To make discoveries in human knowledge, you have to think differently.
G.One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory.
