young scientist
Junior lab enthusiast
A young scientist is someone early in their scientific career or education—typically a student, postdoctoral researcher, or early-career professional.
The term appears frequently in competitions, grants, and awards aimed at nurturing emerging talent: The young scientist award recognizes researchers under thirty-five.
It can also describe children engaged in science projects or experiments: The young scientists presented their volcano models at the fair.
