In elementary school, I did well in science, but I was a poor writer. When I got to high school, I failed all my courses.

I really didn't like the academic structure of science, but I realized I loved science and missed science.

I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I'd be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn't good at science. I didn't have the discipline for it.

I was useless at science. I was never going to be an astrophysicist.

I had been interested in science from when I was very young, but after a disastrous summer lab experience in which every experiment I tried failed, I decided on graduating from college that I was not cut out to be a scientist.

I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills.

At school I briefly wanted to be a palaeontologist, but I was no good at chemistry and physics.

I wasn't very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.

I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.

I was particularly good at math and science.
