This week on The Method Section, Tom talks about mathematics and statistics. While it is an obvious asset to any scientist it also stands as a barrier for many people entering the professional science field, not because their maths isn’t good enough but because they are afraid it isn’t. Tom tackles this misconception as someone who is making his way into the field right now and dealing with maths and with the experience of active scientists he forms this advice.
