Interview with Malcolm Burrows

What do you think are the biggest challenges to the scientific community?
There are many aspects that currently make science an unattractive career to enter. We need urgently to make it more attractive to young people by enabling them to develop their own ideas, and that means giving them access to funding early in their career. The support of large groups should be tempered and more support given to individuals with great ideas and to those willing to tackle important and difficult ideas with uncertain outcomes.
