From Afternoons, 1:14 pm on 15 October 2020

The co-directors of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology say the key to the country's COVID economic recovery lies with the post-doctoral researchers.

Dr Nicola Gaston and Dr Justin Hodgkiss have written an editorial about why investing in innovators research can create jobs and industry to lead us back on a path of economic recovery.

Dr Gaston talks to Jesse about who's already caught international attention in their field and where the funding should come from.
