Where will the next Einstein, Hawking
or, for that matter, Hoffman (the
inventor of Aspirin) or Bayer
(the inventor of polyurethanes) come
from?
At Bayer, we have made education
a central plank of our community programme
for many years. Our close working
partnership with the National EBP
network has ensured that our education
initiatives have been successful and
S4L looks to meet and exceed all of
our expectations.
Why? Because with fewer young people
taking the science option, it's harder
for companies like us to recruit good,
science-based employees.
So it's in our interests, as well
as the students', to show that the
world of science is fascinating, challenging,
varied, rewarding and, above all,
fun!
The twelve national finalists will
have their webcam presentation shown
"live" on the website for
the national online voting. The online
'vote-a-thon' will decide the winner
and runner-up.
