Question: Would you ever stop being a scientist and why?

There so many different jobs that fall under “scientists”, I don’t think I’ll ever stop being one. Although, I don’t think I will do hands on research forever, maybe move to a more “desk job”, working on drug trials or science communication. But yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever stop being a scientist, and I don’t think any scientist ever really stops being one, whatever job they end up doing 😊
