I have to make a shitty assignment on what makes a ''good'' scientist.

So Veeky Forums what is in your opinion a good scientist?

Tapping that delicious assistant boipucci every day.

Going by the standards of presentablity so you get a good grade (and not just give a true answer that's cause you to flunk out):
>Knowledgeable
A good scientist actually knows what the hell he's talking about and only uses what he knows, not what he thinks he knows.
>Imaginative and Curious
It's curiosity that is the cause of humanity exploring and going as far as taking step on the moon and piloting submarines down to the bottom of the ocean. It's imagination that is why every invention that has been invented was invented.
>Not afraid to admit that they're wrong.
Can't find an explanatory or motivational comment for this, but it is what it is and it's damn true so good luck OP.
>Won't even admit that they are a good scientist.
Even Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein struggled with the insecurities that they were retarded, when we all know damn well they weren't.

>carries battery powered homemade
Q-switched laser in a gun holster
>steals radioisotopes out of fire detectors for personal use
>keeps ampoules of tert-butyllithium, sulfur trioxide, ammonium perchlorate and other highly reactive compounds in his pants pockets, just in case
>hair stands stylishly on end from exposure to high powered electrical fields
>wears a Howie coat, elbow-length rubber gloves, and safety goggles at all times

Thomas edison is a brainlet

a good scientist doesn´t trust other scientists, because he only trusts proof. A good scientist would never just learn the ontology of a science and say it´s true he would check on the methods that were used and would replicate the phenomenons to see it for himself.
