The World Needs More Scientists: How We Can Train Millions in Virtual Labs
“California wild fires, melting arctic ice caps, and record setting temperatures suggest our climate is dramatically changing with potentially catastrophic outcomes for our species. Add to that an increase in the threat of infectious disease, disruptions to our planet’s food production, and water scarcity some warn could lead to armed conflict in the future.
We face many very real problems, and science and technology can contribute very real solutions. But according to Michael Bodekaer, a Danish education professional and entrepreneur, there’s not nearly enough trained scientists to address these dangers.
“We are on a mission to help solve global challenges by educating more scientists—and we need more scientists if we are to solve the complex challenges the world is now facing,” he told me.
To do that, he’s co-founded Labster, a Danish company that develops virtual reality science laboratories that offer users virtualized lab equipment in a software simulation…”

More scientists? We’re not listening to the ones we have now.
Murdy the steampunk hey thank you! yeah theres alot of incredible stuff happening these days! and regarding SEXSEX, yeah ive been battling the porn spam bots for the past few weeks, have reported most of them but some keep slipping through the cracks…
Derek Stairs The more there are, the harder it will be to ignore them. After all, I certainly wouldn’t be advocating for LESS scientists.
Good point.
Murdy the steampunk Ha! Thanks, yeah, that one’s a neverending battle. For every one I report and block, another two pop up…gonna keep fightin’ tho!
Murdy the steampunk Haha. Thanks. There’re a few of us around once you sort through the b.s. A lot of nice folk in the photography communities…
