THE NETHERLANDS. The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) has announced its Early Career Awards for the third time. These prestigious prizes go to twelve scientists starting out on their career who have come up with original research ideas.

The winner from Maastricht, Kim Kampen, is researching the differences in eating patterns between normal cells and cancer cells. The research topics of this year’s winners include the positive aspects of ADHD, how social media influences our appreciation of science, and computer-based training modules designed to tackle addiction.

“These are young researchers with bold ideas and innovative methods who are not afraid to take the road less travelled”, says KNAW spokesperson Esther Ladiges.
