#EGU2020 Sessions in the Spotlight: How to Apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant

One of the often underrated parts of a conference are the short-courses – these give us a way to spend some time learning a topic in detail. If you find that it’s tough to really digest information in a 15 minute talk, then the short courses are for you! Today we are highlighting a potentially useful (and lucrative) course about how to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie grants from the E ...[Read More]

#EGU2020 Sessions in the Spotlight: The Dynamics of Magmatic Plumbing Systems

The EGU 2020 abstract submissions are now open for the next two months! Every few days, we will highlight a geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology and/or volcanolgy session right here – great news if like me, you can’t make a decision in a restaurant whenever there are too many options (just like the session list), so you just choose the first thing you see… Today it’s the tur ...[Read More]

Is the scientific community ready for open access publishing?

How much we pay, as both scientists and the public, for publishing and accessing papers is a hot topic right across the academic community – and rightly so. Publishing houses, and their fees, are big, big business. To which journal we should submit our work is a regular decision we face. But what are the Green, Golden or Hybrid roads? How do pre- and post-prints fit into the journey? In this ...[Read More]

Gender equality and equal opportunities – keep the discussion going!

Why do I feel uncomfortable as the only woman in a meeting? Why do they gossip about the male postdoc who is supervising three female MSc students? Have I really been asked to give this presentation just because I am a woman? It was thanks to all the work and reading I was doing for our study about gender inequality in the geosciences that I realised it is not ok I have to ask myself these questio ...[Read More]
