Abstract
IN the leading article in NATURE of Sept. 17 in relation to the imperial Agricultural Conference, it is pointed out that in some branches of science there is “a lamentable deficiency” of young men coming forward to take up research. Special reference is made to research in genetics, but the statement applies to most branches of applied biology. Whilst such positions as are available in the British Isles are eagerly sought, those in tropical colonies, and to a less extent in the Dominions, are not generally attractive to university graduates in biology.
