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

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Collaboration, Communication, Diversity, Events, Mobility, Research, Scientists on the move, Social media, Union, US

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

What motivates you as a scientist?

Posted by Rachel Bowden | Categories: PhD, Postdoc, Postgraduate

To tie in with the latest Nature Outlook, Lenses on Biology, the Nature Communities team asked five biological scientists at different stages of their education or careers to tell their personal stories in a guest blog post. Each scientist studies, works or has an interest in one of the five research fields featured in Lenses on Biology ― cancer, stem cells, synthetic biology, ocean health and climate change ― and they share what motivates them in their chosen subject. You can read their stories below, and discuss your own motivations here or on the posts in question.  Read more
