Young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19

As we near the end of another academic year disrupted by COVID-19, many students feel the effects of the pandemic and the uncertainty it has left them in for their future careers. 

An interesting article exploring an increase in interest in a scientific career which in the past may not have been considered.  

The Government, industry and academia must find ways to nurture this increased interest in science shown by young people, placing value on more tailored discussions on how to sustain and cement engagement now and in the longer-term.

Despite the abundance of news and information on COVID-19, there has been little media and political attention given to the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on young people and their futures.
