Question: What to you is the most important thing to learn in Science ?

That’s a really hard question.

I don’t think there is any one thing that is more important than the rest. I think a good general understanding of the subject is important because you are a lot more aware of how the world around you works. It can also be really useful in other jobs, for example, because I know how about acid and alkali, I know that when I want to get rid of the lime-scale in my kettle, I can just use vinegar.

I think if you want to do science for a job, then it all depends on the areas that interest you the most. And you can always learn more later on 🙂
