Survey finds that many don’t think they are clever enough to work in a Stem field
A survey of attitudes to science commissioned by manufacturing giant 3M suggests around half of people in the UK regret not embarking on a scientific career. 3M’s 2019 State of Science Index (SOSI) used interviews and online questionnaires to survey attitudes to science in a sample of more than 14,000 people across 14 countries. In the UK, 48% of roughly 1000 respondents said they would pursue a career in science if they could go back and start again.
