'Lots of people don't want to do it': Paul Nurse on his controversial second term as Royal Society president

I mean, I get it, Paul Nurse is basically a legend in the science world, but is 76 really old enough to be leading the Royal Society? 🤔😳 Not saying he's not qualified or anything, but come on, guys! He's definitely got some age-related gray hairs (pun intended). Anyway, I'm kinda curious to see how he's gonna tackle those pressing issues - funding, visa system, right-wing populism... it sounds like a lot on his plate 🤯. And honestly, if anyone can do it, it's him, but what if he just gets too old or tired? Can we have a backup plan for when the time comes? 🙏👥
 
🤔 I gotta say, 76's not old for a president, right? 🙃 Paul Nurse seems like a decent guy who's got some solid ideas about how to shake things up at the Royal Society. Like, bringing attention to Elon Musk's views on science - that's not something you hear every day. 💡 But, I'm not sure if we should be worrying too much about the "boys' club" thing... it sounds like Nurse is trying to make a point about promoting scientific achievement over personal opinions. 🤝 Still, gotta wonder what other challenges he'll face with all those young researchers coming up through the ranks. They're probably thinking, "Who's this old dude, anyway?" 😅 Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out! 👀
