What an important and exciting time this is for undergrads, postgrads, and postdocs! I am thinking about all those embarking on their studies and research careers, particularly in Life Sciences and of course generally as well. It’s time to reiterate some sentiments and messages to this new generation of scientists.
Very best wishes to Life Science students and early career researchers.
How the world and humankind need you!
How we should all be encouraging and supporting the younger research generation. For all those students and researchers driven by a passion for their subject it should be a time to really enjoy studying and research for the sake of research; a time to explore interests and have a great life and social life too. It’s not the easiest of times and research can be very frustrating with many ups and downs. It was ever thus. It is however an adventure with opportunities to grasp, whilst keeping a sense of perspective and having fun! Many of us are willing you on to a great future!
Looking forward…
The skills learnt will be transferable for many different career options. Early career researchers have much to contribute, and they deserve to be challenged, encouraged, and supported in their research careers. They also have so much potential in many walks of life and different spheres.
