Logo design competition for the International Year of Crystallography – 2013 PRIZE: Apple iPad In 1912 Max Laue [Max von Laue from 1913 on the ennobling of his father] showed that X-rays were diffracted by crystals, and in 1913 W. H. and W. L. Bragg demostrated that the diffraction of X-rays can be used to… Read More »

Nature.com created a new page focusing on the “Future of the PhD“. There are various sections but it mainly focus on the problem of having too many doctoral programmes, producing too many PhD graduates but there is a very small amount of academic jobs available. Does PhD system need reinvention? What do you think? There… Read More »
