There are misleading headlines claiming „Greenland melting 100x faster“. But the study only concerns melt rates at vertical ice cliffs in contact with sea water. It has nothing to do with overall ice loss from Greenland, mostly via surface melt & calving. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

People think peer review has been with us for centuries. Not really! Scientific publishing was always a hodgepodge and most outlets were nothing like our current system. Pre-publication peer review only became common in the 1960s. lps.library.cmu.edu/ETHOS/ar…

Thank you for taking the time to help the Global Science Policy Network (GSPN) by answering this survey. The GSPN aims to cultivate an international network of early-career science policy advocates...

Here is a comparison of take home pay. Under pressure from ECRs and allies, @royalsocietynz raised the stipends for those starting in 2022. They did not tie it to cost of living, so by the time it came in, it was still less than minimum wage.🧐 Thanks @lcsnz for the graph!
Take home pay comparison showing that post grads make less than minimum wage when on the stipend provided by The Royal Society's Marsden fund grant (often considered the most grant in the country).
