I became a scientist by starting to study sciencey subjects at school like biology, chemistry, physics and maths. I then choose to study Geology at university because I was interested in the Earth/Oceans.
I also knew that Geology is a broad science and you get to specialise in which part of Geology you are interested in so you could become more of a chemical geologist (e.g. looking at the chemistry of lava) or a palaeontologist (e.g. looking at fossils/dinosaurs) or a physical geologist (e.g. looking at earthquake zones). I spent 3-4 years looking at all of these things and decided I wanted to study more fossils so that is what I have been doing ever since! Except now I look at fossils from the ocean instead of from the land.
Would you like to become a scientist @dansp?

Hi @dansp!
Like Kate I started learning to become a scientist at school by taking subjects like biology and chemistry but I also loved english and french so I did those too…
I have been at University for about 6 years now, still learning. It’s hard sometimes, but the great thing about science is that there is so much of it it’s never boring. There’s always something new and interesting that makes you stop and say “wow!”.
