Nobel Prize given for showing the importance of investing in science for innovation and long-term economic growth. Basically the opposite of what the US is doing. 😭
Prosím, nemluvte o pravěkých společnostech jako o "tlupách". Tahle terminologie 19. století se nepoužívá už desítky let. Zkuste se příště poradit na jednom ze dvou ústavů archeologie, které na AV máte.
I cannot escape archaeology even on a Saturday hike.
Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).
Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

Recharging.
Maybe the holy drain water healed someone, but they were not so sure if it's permanent.
Looking for a postdoc position in quantitative palaeoecology with focus on vegetation? Come to work in my interdisciplinary project in Prague (full-time for 2 years).
Stunning location!

🏺I spent a considerable time of my career feeling that I am trying to extract "sunbeams out of cucumbers". @benmarwick.bsky.social describes how to improve our current #publishing practice to avoid such feelings when extracting archaeological #data from publications.
Good luck with the project and I'm looking forward to the results! 🙂
Glad to hear that! 🎉
