A local charity hopes a cancer expert will inspire young people from the Isle of Man to consider a career in finding cures for the disease.
The Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association has invited Professor Geoffrey Pilkington to talk to pupils from King William's College and St Ninian's High School this morning.
He's a leading brain tumour research specialist from Portsmouth University.
Professor Pilkington is worried that not enough students are considering a career in medical research.
Association President Carole Cowin says it's an important visit for the Island (play attached audio file):
