Abstract

In 2022, Development launched its Pathway to Independence (PI) programme, aimed at supporting postdocs as they transition to their first independent position. In 2025, we welcome our third cohort of eight talented PI fellows. In this article, each fellow discusses their perspective on the future of their field and how their work will contribute to this exciting new era.
