I work with students and other scientists in an educational and research environment.
I arrive at the office and meet with students who have interesting technical results, discussing those results, and then discussing the next steps for them to take, moving towards writing, editing, and submitting a publication. Of course, a great day is always highlighted by good news, meaning that one of our students' pieces has been accepted and published.
Here's the first step for high school students
I don't think there's necessarily one set first step that you should take; rather, it's a series of steps. You need a solid education up to college, then you need to choose a college major that aligns with your talents, then you can move on to graduate school.
