Abstract

First your passion, then your studies. This is Edward Wilson's advice to young scientists. In the work entitled “Letters to a young scientist”, Wilson shares with the public his passion for the natural world and for discovery. Being a scientist, before of all, is having a passion for solving problems. It takes dedication, creativity and a lot of study, but the result is the discovery of an evolving natural world. Wilson's work is a true testament to young researchers and future scientists.
