We loved having the opportunity to talk to such a famous scientist and one that is still living, as we've also looked at the work of Linnaeus in our Living Things and Their Habitats topic.
He told us that we all have the potential to be great scientists. He said that science wasn't as complicated or difficult as people think it is and that it is really exciting to see something that nobody else has ever seen! To succeed, he said you had to persist and be prepared to fail!
