Sažetak
We asked young scientists this question: How do broad interests benefit your science? Scientists with a variety of hobbies responded that their extracurricular activities have enhanced a wide range of skills, from creativity to communication to resilience. Many also mentioned the value of clearing their minds and relaxing. Follow NextGen and share your own hobbies on Twitter with #NextGenSci. As a rock climber, you have to risk falling in order to become better ; the same principle applies in science. Realizing this has made me look at research failures in a more positive light—less as a demonstration of incompetence, and more of an opportunity to learn something and build resilience. I've learned that reminding yourself of your own competence (on the wall or in the lab) is a useful way to build up the courage to take more risks.
