Featured: Rethinking scientific careers in a changing world
How can early- and mid-career researchers shape meaningful careers in a changing world?
This six-part podcast series – released weekly starting 11 September 2025 – explores how early- and mid-career researchers can navigate professional growth in today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape. Through case studies across disciplines and projects, the series offers insights into both the challenges and opportunities that define modern research careers.
Each episode features a conversation between an emerging researcher and an established scientist. Together, they reflect on their experiences, from managing major collaborations to adapting to change, and highlight the skills that have been essential along the way.
Beyond personal journeys, the discussions also look ahead – examining the future of each field, the evolving demands on researchers, and the opportunities that lie ahead. Listeners will gain practical perspectives on the skills needed for the next generation of science, as well as guidance on where to find support through the International Science Council.
