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

Do it for science – not for tenure

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Chemistry, Perspectives, Research, Tenure

Chalfie talking to students at Lindau 2017

I recently had the pleasure of joining the 67th Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting at Lake Constance in the south of Germany. The weeklong meeting alternates its main focus between chemistry, physics, and medicine & physiology each year — the three categories of natural sciences the Nobel Prizes are awarded for. This year the focus was back on chemistry, and I was lucky enough to be invited by the organisers to cover the event on their blog.  Read more

Conversations with the Countess: Lindau: A Nerd Heaven of Nobels and Nobles

My week at Lindau, #NerdHeaven, was in a word, sublime. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed speaking with all the different people it draws, including Nobel Laureates, early career scientists, journalists, and representatives from foundations and governments the world over. I learned so much about so many different areas of science and society. I gained so much from the experience. And now that it has come to a close, I feel like crying in my streuselkuchen.  Read more
