Eye-openers is a platform for promising young scientists. In one minute, they explain what they are working on, what fascinates them about it, and what they are looking for. Concise, stimulating, visual, and straightforward. Intended for people with a broad interest in science (who, of course, know that the full story is somewhat more nuanced).
