FUTURE SCIENTIST


wow,
i want this blog to be about the future up coming scientist that will influence their ability to do what they wish to do with their life as the young scientist.
I will like to influence those that wish to be a scientist because it will be a good thing for them to be able to be a good scientist and it will a good thing for them.

           

                               STEP TO BECOME A YOUNG SCIENTIST

A scientist investigates how the universe, or specific parts of it, work. Scientists formulate hypotheses from early observations, then test those hypotheses with additional observations and experiments in which they can measure those results and confirm or refute their hypotheses. Scientists often work in either a university, commercial, or government setting; if you'd like to be one, you're in for a long but fulfilling and exciting ride.

1. Take the necessary preparatory classes in high school. Starting in high school, and continuing into your undergraduate years in college, you should take classes that teach you the analytical and critical thinking skills you will need to be a scientist. This is a must to get a leg up later in life.
  • You'll need to be well specialized in mathematics. Scientists in the physical sciences use a great deal of mathematics, particularly algebra, calculus and analytical geometry, while those in the biological sciences use math less often. All scientists need a working knowledge of statistics, too.
  • Consider going to science camp during high school. You'll do more intensive projects than you do in your regular science classes in school.
  2. Start out with the basics in college. While you will specialize in a particular discipline later, you'll need to take basic courses in biology, chemistry and physics to ground you in the basics of each science, as well as the scientific method of observing, making hypotheses and experimenting. You can also select elective courses based on areas of interest or to discover new areas of interest to help you define your specialty. In a year or two, you can commit to a more specific branch of science.
  • Skills in one or two foreign languages may be helpful as well, in order to read older scientific papers that haven't been translated into English. The most helpful languages to learn include French, German and Russian. 
 
3. Declare a major in a field that intrigues you. After you’ve gotten your feet wet and you’re familiar with the directions this career could take you, declare a major in a more specific branch of science. Planetary? Medical? Psychological? Geneticist? Agricultural?
  • If you'd like or if your college's lack of options necessitates it, you can wait to declare something more specific later (aka grad school). A general major like chemistry is fine, too.
 
4. Get an internship in college. It's best to start making connections and doing work as soon as possible. Contact one of your professors about an internship – you may be able to get your name associated with a paper your team publishes, too.
  • This will get you 100% certified lab experience, which is going to be helpful for going to grad school and looking for more serious jobs later. It shows you've been taking college seriously and have a grip on what's expected of you.
