by Today , I read a chapter ” THE MAKING OF A SCIENTIST ”
The chapter was quite interesting where I got to know about the journey of a normal student to a well known scientist – ‘Dr. RICHARD H. EBRIGHT’
First I’ll give a brief introduction about his life .
Richard was a smart and only child to his parents. BCoz he felt lonely , he started collecting things , which included fossils , coins and most importantly butterflies . His mother used to help him a lot , she bought him many instruments which Richie (nickname) used to learn new things.
Most important was the book “THE TRAVELS OF MONARCH X (one of the species of butterflies )”. This book opened the world of science to Richie . He started exploring new things , used to participate in science fairs , with a competitive mind and finally his research led to a new theory on how cells work . This theory got published in the PNSA which was like hitting a home run in baseball .
This was the journey of RICHARD .
Now , I will tell the main point ,i.e., how to become a scientist
Ingredients –
