      If you mean what age did I start working as a scientist, I was 26. However, I started doing scientific research back when I was doing my Master’s degree in 2017-2018 at age 21/22, and continued on to do a PhD, which is also like working as a scientist, except you get a qualification at the end of it, and the title Dr.!

      It depends on what you mean by ‘start.’ I started studying plant biology for my bachelor’s when I was 17 and started my PhD when I was 21, but I started being interested in plants when I was about 13.
