From HUGH TORRENS
You hit one nail right on the head when noting that ‘scientists themselves
are partly to blame for the perception’ that science is not a good career.
But to ‘communicate . . . the thrills of a life in science’ will be hard
if the first thrilled scientists many students meet are their university
lecturers. Too few of these remain thrilled by their lives in science. Until
this problem is resolved, I fear the thrill (which is real and communicable)
will remain uncommunicated.
