Have you ever tried to imagine the initial years in science of our Science Heroes? Perhaps you’ve pictured them as young scientists full of enthusiasm with an endless curiosity driving them in the attempt to understand the world.

But in reality, how are those early years of a research career? How is the impulse to pursue the key to open questions developed, maybe threatened sometimes, through them? Looking back, were they really decisive moments?

In this section, we provide some insight into those first steps in science by sharing the experiences of real young researchers around the world.  The posts will give you the opportunity to learn about their journey with their own eyes and words as they go through those moments of uncertainty when questions arise — and perhaps an answer to those questions starts to take shape.

Stay tuned for the first of our interviews to come!
