The Science Positive Collective

Studies & Further Education

Scientist, science fan, interested in science, crazy or passionate about science? It doesn't matter, we call it science positive!

By scientists for scientists

Our Science Positive Collective shares their experiences and advice about their life and work in science here.

The science community is international and English is the accepted working language in science, so here our scientists' contributions to the science community are written in English.
