Nuclear energy can do more construction than deconstruction.

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge." Democratic societies rely on fact-based world views and science, but also on narratives that can bring together large, diverse communities. Join chemistry laureate Ben Feringa us as we explore the role that fact and fiction play in democracies in our upcoming Nobel Prize Dialogue Brussels.

I rarely do reposts but think that this is relevant. Peter Higgs, who won a Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, passed away recently at age 94. He mentioned to The Guardian below that he wouldn't have gotten an academic job in the academic climate in the 2010's since he wasn't seen as "productive" enough. In fact, he recalled being seen as an embarrassment at work when he had no publications to report during research assessment exercises. More importantly, he also felt that he wouldn't have enough peace and quiet to have discovered in the Higgs Boson particle in the academic climate in the early 2010's Unfortunately, if things were bad in 2013, it ain't any better in 2024. I think more places in the West, especially, are trying to recognize research with impact, and not just reward people with massive numbers of publications. Don't get me wrong, journal publications have a major place in academia. But I wonder what am I doing wrong when I manage to only publish 2 or 3 papers in a year, while others publish 40, 50 or even more than a 100 papers per annum! 🤯 More importantly, can you adequately contribute to each and every paper to warrant authorship on the journal article? 🤷♂️ I don't know. 🤔 You be the judge. #academia #publication #higgs #integrity

Chapter 12. The Third Eye. This commentary on the chapter is in memory of Nobel Laureate Dr Daniel Kahneman who died in March this year, aged 90. The concepts of this chapter was inspired by his book "Thinking Fast & Slow." https://lnkd.in/dq4PD4_X

Big win for institutional economics and the University of Chicago🏆 Just heard the news: Prof. James A. Robinson from my alma mater, University of Chicago, along with Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences! Why am I beaming? Because this is precisely what UChicago stands for—groundbreaking research that shapes the world. Robinson's work on "how institutions are formed and affect prosperity" isn't just academic jargon; it's thinking that changes how we approach global challenges. Robinson is the Reverend Dr. Richard L. Pearson, Professor of Global Conflict Studies and University Professor at the Harris School and Political Science Department. His humble reaction? "It's a little bit emotional... I'm very happy and delighted." Classic University of Chicago - brilliant minds, down-to-earth attitudes. This win isn't just for Robinson or UChicago - it's a win for anyone who believes in the power of understanding how societies work to build a better world. Fellow UChicago alums, let's raise a virtual toast! 🥂 To everyone else, I can't stop raving about my alma mater. Check out Robinson’s first reaction to this monumental achievement here!#NobelPrize #EconomicsMatters #InstitutionalImpact #UChicago https://lnkd.in/gRxmf56h

"Trust your own intuition, and your own ideas and don't listen too much to any advice, not even mine!" Nobel Prize laureate Benjamin List shares his best advice to young researchers. Watch the full student Q&A with List here: https://lnkd.in/eP_Fixft

When I heard this short interview today, it stirred up a lot of memories for me and I think it is worth reflecting on the message Benjamin List wants to give us. Personally, I also think I was lucky that my parents gave me absolute freedom of choice regarding my professional life. In retrospect, I can proudly say that I built it from the very beginning by following my passion. And it's never too late for that - listen to your intuition! #careerdevelopment #careeradvice #scientificresearch #goals
