    The document summarizes a talk given by Yongyuth Yuthavong at the BOOST conference in Bangkok about the seven potential careers ("lives") that a scientist can have over their career. The seven lives are: 1) acquiring knowledge, 2) research in their own field, 3) transferring knowledge, 4) management, 5) being a public figure, 6) communicating with society, and 7) living as a normal person. Not all scientists will have all seven lives, but ideally they should have lives as a learner, researcher, and teacher. Non-scientists can also have some of these roles, but a scientist is uniquely positioned to take advantage of all seven potential careers.

    The Seven Lives of a Scientist


    Yongyuth Yuthavong National Science and Technology Development Agency, Thailand

    Young people are blessed


    Blessed with a long life ahead Blessed with choice of careers People who choose science as a career are blessed further WITH 7 LIVES!

    A scientist can have seven lives!

    1st life: Acquiring knowledge

    2nd life: Research in your own backyard

    3rd life: Transferring knowledge

    4th life: Management

    5th life: Public person

    6th life: Communicating with society

    7th life: A normal person

    Not all scientists have seven lives


    Some prefer to have fewer But they should have at least three:
    A learner A researcher A teacher

    Non-scientists can have many of our lives too!


    Science writers Science communicators Science administrators Science ministers BUT If scientists can do these all the better

    Other young people than young scientists can be blessed too


    Artists, business people, mechanics, taxi drivers. They can be blessed with many lives too But I bet, they are not as exciting as THE 7 LIVES OF A SCIENTIST!
