Why I marched for science – a transatlantic perspective

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Career paths, Communication, Diversity, Europe, Events, In the news, US

Why I marched for science – a transatlantic perspective

On Saturday, April 22nd, myself and an estimated 11,000 other science supporters marched in Berlin. The event was part of the global “March for Science” that took place in over 600 cities worldwide. While the March here and everywhere else was a great success in putting a spotlight on the importance of research and the danger of building on false facts, I’m worried it won’t have a lasting effect on the public perception of science if we don’t improve our science communication.  Read more

Science communication: A solution to the upcoming Brexit funding gap?

Post-Brexit furor is hard to avoid in the UK media at the moment. Endless speculation surrounds what looks to be a socioeconomic experiment on a national scale, and it goes without saying that the implications will be far-reaching across all UK industries.  Read more

Lindau: Return to Nerd Heaven: Physics is like the Godfather and this is good

Lindau: Return to Nerd Heaven: Physics is like the Godfather and this is good

As I mentioned yesterday, even after I switched my major to mathematics from physics and astronomy, I couldn’t quite turn my back on this field. I’ve come to realise that there is a specific reason for this, and I think you’ll agree: Physics is like The Godfather – once you’re in, you can’t get out. Our knowledge of the universe, from the yotta to atto, is all tied to physics. Our entire existence is described by physics. You can’t get more powerful than that. So clearly, it’s is an entrancing field, and like the Godfather, there is literally no way to escape – you’ll die a member of La Famiglia de Fisica.  Read more

Would you return to your home country to set up a lab?

Posted by Rachel Bowden | Categories: Academia, Europe, Funding, Mobility

Last week EMBO announced the recipients of its 2011 Installation Grants – a round of funding that supports scientists who want to relocate to a country that is currently building its fundamental research capacity. The 2011 grants, which comprise an annual award of 50,000 euros for three to five years, will enable seven scientists to set up laboratories in the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia and Turkey.  Read more
