In their introduction in this issue of Pathways, when talking of the EMCR Forum, they point to a poem by the award-winning American poet, essayist and translator, Jane Hirshfield:
Most decision makers, funding bodies, government, and industry want to do the right thing, but they don’t have early- and mid- career researchers in their ranks. That’s where we come in. We knock on doors and tell them what we need for the future. People with more information make more informed decisions, plain and simple. Keep in touch because we are the voice and platform of many and because we are the future, as corny as it sounds. I am reminded by Jane Hirshfield’s poem ‘Let Them Not Say’.
