Bridging the chemistry education gap
A commentary in Nature Reviews Chemistry highlights a growing challenge in science education: the high cost of specialized laboratory equipment is putting hands-on chemistry experiments out of reach for many schools. The article argues that strengthening formal collaborations between secondary schools and universities is a critical strategy to bridge this resource gap, ensuring students can access the practical experiences that bring chemical concepts to life.
Why it might matter to you:
For a medicinal chemist, a robust pipeline of talent is essential for the future of drug discovery. This article underscores a systemic threat to that pipeline at its earliest stage. Engaging with or supporting such collaborative initiatives could be a strategic investment in cultivating the next generation of experimental scientists, ensuring a future workforce that is both conceptually and practically adept.
