The real climate debate

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Blog, Communication, Europe, Events, In the News, Perspectives

The real climate debate

In the scientific community, the big question is not whether action on climate change is required, but what form it should take — and the part that scientists should play, says the recent Nature Outlook on Climate Change. Three early-career researchers share their thoughts on the current state on climate action worldwide and the place of science in society.  Read more

Marketing yourself, politics and post-truth

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Mobility, Scientists on the move

Marketing yourself, politics and post-truth

Achieving your dream job is always going to be a bit of a challenge. You may have a great degree, and maybe relevant experience, but getting your potential employer to believe you are absolutely the right person for the job means marketing yourself correctly. This can be tricky, particularly if you are starting off new in a field with no established reputation behind you.  Read more

Securing workplace rights for scientists in the age of Trump

In the wake of Donald Trump’s election, the scientific community is on edge. The future of federal science funding remains unclear, campus inclusivity is under threat, immigration policy is in disarray, and entire academic fields – such as climate change research – fear the worst.  Read more

Development and debate about the March for Science

Development and debate about the March for Science

It’s fair to say the scientific community is spending a lot of time talking about the March for Science, due to take place on April 22, 2017. While organizers are preparing for events in Washington, D.C. and satellite locations around the world, scientists are evaluating their roles in politics and public outreach. I reached out to scientists and science supporters to discuss the march and the impact of recent political decisions on science, scientific policy, and our careers as scientists.  Read more

The postdoc series: What comes next?

Posted by Julie Gould | Categories: Postdoc

The postdoc series: What comes next?

The obvious path for many people doing a postdoc is to look for a more permanent academic position as a tenure-track professor. But it isn’t the only one! There are plenty of other things a postdoc can do. Here are just a few examples.  Read more

Climate change policy: What’s new for Asia?

Posted by Subhra Priyadarshini | Categories: Climate Change, Environment, Policy

Climate change policy: What's new for Asia?

At a workshop discussing what the take homes for  Asian countries might be from the latest assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — AR5 — it was pointed out that there wasn’t enough science coming out of developing countries to feed the database on emissions or warming in the larger climate change debate. Local scientists need to conduct more climate change related experiments, write more scientific papers and bolster regional science  in order to make a case for these developing countries in the international discourse on climate change.  Read more

New agricultural trends to feed the world

Posted by Mohammed Yahia | Categories: Science, Technology

New agricultural trends to feed the world

The agriculture sector needs to double food production by 2050 to meet growing global populations – a tremendous feat considering the challenges posed by climate change, water shortage and how the increase in farming land is not catching up with demand. That’s why scientists are up to their ears looking for ways to sustainably increase production of crops capable of withstanding different environmental stresses.  Read more
