The only thing that’s required to be a good scientist is intellectual humility, to understand that you could be wrong about things, things that everyone takes for granted — you could still question them, and when you’re presented with new evidence and new data you are willing to change your mind, and you are willing to operate with ambiguity and uncertainty about the world, … that’s basically all the qualities you need to be a scientist.
