Education and Training Requirements
High School
In high school, take courses in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science (including database design). Be sure to take English and speech classes because you’ll need to be able to effectively convey your research findings to colleagues, as well as to those who may not have an extensive scientific background.
