What skills do you use every day in your job? The number one skill that I have developed in my career and that I use today is the scientific method – doing rigorous tests and analysis, checking again, duplicating the experiments. This is very important, so I try to teach my students that the scientific method is key. Serendipity is also an important factor when you use a rigorous method, so it’s essential to be curious about anything you come across and work hard to understand it.
