Really, really glad to see @iom3 considering changing the name of the Younger Members Committee.
If you're a materials scientist please consider the needs of early career folk with a non-standard career path and vote for a name that will include them... Who might that be? Well...
People who have been failed by the education system may come back to learning later in life and be early in their careers without being young.
Women who take time out to have children and then return to the workplace may be early in their careers without being young.
People who have been educated in overseas systems, and potentially also done military service, before moving to the UK, maybe early career without being young.
There's any number of other reasons why students and early career folk may not fit the label young. Let's welcome everyone to the IOM3's provision for early career people, and provide equal training and development opportunities across the board.
(Also... Thank you to everyone who has spoken out on this issue, particularly @BMatB)
