  I began calling myself a scientist when I finished my bachelor’s degree when I was 21.

  I suppose officially I became a scientist at 24 when I graduated with my degree in biotechnology

  I never dreamt I would become a scientist. I simply kept learning. I officially became a scientist when I received my PhD when I was 33.

  I will consider that I became one once I specialise myself in college, I was 18 years old.

  If you count it from when I started learning science in school, 16.. If you count it from when I tried experiments at home and made my parents go crazy, probably 9.

  I was 22 when I started to work on my first own project during my master thesis. Of course, I needed a lot of guidance from my supervisor and more senior colleagues, but I think it still counts because I was responsible for the project.
