"Do you think Science and Religion can co-exist in an individual?"

Once you realize religion has absolutely nothing to do with science or scientific scrutiny I think yes. Both are very different so it can't be very difficult to be "pro-science" while still being religious.

That entirely depends on the religion of the individual.  If that individual claims to be pro-science but also claims the world is 6000 years old, there's an explicit conflict there. Whereas someone like Francis Collins is obviously both an excellent scientist and a theist.

Some individuals' religions might "have absolutely nothing to do with science or scientific scrutiny" (like Collins), but many absolutely do have to do with scientific scrutiny because they make assertions about reality that can be investigated and evaluated.
