While some may think of scientists as men and women hard at work in laboratories, the experts at Culturico, a non-profit project aimed at sharing scientific knowledge, say there’s so much more to the profession.
The U.K.-based Science Council defines a scientist as “someone who systematically gathers and uses research and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share understanding and knowledge.”
The last part is important, notes Culturico, adding that scientists should also be skilled communicators so that they can inform and educate the general public.
