Making Science a Career: 30 People Shaping the Future Nikkei Science regularly features Japanese researchers and exceptional individuals under the title "Challenging Front Runners." Each issue introduces a scientist who is dedicated to scientific inquiry and has achieved original research results, or an expert who is working on the development and application of cutting-edge technology and bringing about change. Veteran reporters from the Nikkei newspaper introduce one person each time. The content of their research results and their significance are, of course, covered, as well as what they were interested in from a young age, what motivations and opportunities led them to their current path as scientists or experts, what kind of thinking and awareness of issues they have, what they are aiming for next, and what they are trying to challenge. This book is packed with episodes for young readers who will lead the next generation. It is a useful book for high school and university students to read. Z3
