The working environments of a Neuroscientist can be radically diverse. From the confines of a lab, to the interactions within a medical clinic, to outreaches of the wilderness, Neuroscientists certainly cover a lot of ground. But at the core, the culture of scientific research is the binding element and territory within Neuroscience.
Neuroscientists are often required to be jacks-of-all-trades. Managing the accounts and funds for a laboratory necessitates accounting skills, maintaining and repairing laboratory equipment obviates the possession of electrical and mechanical skills, designing posters and renderings of various experimental findings may require artistic skills, writing various papers requires excellent technical writing and editing skills, and the list goes on. A common trait cited amongst Neuroscientists is the ability and desire to question. This leads to the development of rich critical thinking skills, adaptability, and problem-solving skills.
