What makes a biochemist? Here, we introduce the Biochemical Literacy Framework (BCLF) comprised seven key skills: critical thinking, self‐management, communication, information literacy, visual literacy, practical skills and content knowledge. This BCLF is intended to facilitate further consultation and discussion towards defining the context and qualities of a biochemist.
