This and a video someone made about open-mindedness and skepticism* are both awesome things that show what really goes on in scientists' heads. (Granted, some of it is idealized, since we are human beings).
* Open-minded does means 'consider all ideas', not 'blindly accept anything that crawls in your head. It points out a lot of times when a critic means 'be more open-minded', they mean 'stop disbelieving in my ideas because of lack of facts supporting it'.
