      Hello Bones,

      No, I don’t think so. I am very fortunate to have a mentality that has a thirst for knowledge and a clinical and analytical mind. I also like to problem solve. I guess all of theose attributes are common amongst scientists, but not exclusively. After all I am a police officer, who works within a scientific capacity.

      I would hate to think that students and prospective scientists were put off from pursuing their goals because they think that they aren’t ‘brainy’ enough.

      Remember, Einstein had a below average brain size. It didn’t seem to affect him, or the scientific world.

      Mark.

      hello bones!

      Not really, all my peers, including the other scientists on here, are far more brainy than me! My wife is a dentist as well so she is much more clever than I am (really hard to do dentistry!).
