Things that are not required to be a scientist:

That's it, that's the whole list.

Women were 2.5x less likely to ask questions in a seminar than men, regardless of seniority.

Instead, they questioned their own understanding, and whether they'd be taken seriously.

If you only hear from part of the room, you limit everyone's learning.
