What makes for a "typical scientist"? Jeremy Nathans, whose research team has made important
discoveries about the biology of vision, believes there's no such thing. "There are as many
kinds of scientists as there are people," he says, "and different people bring a different
perspective to the science they do." Good scientists, however, do tend to share certain traits,
according to Nathans. These include "persistence, strong analytical skills, an unwillingness
to accept things on faith and a desire to test them for yourself."
