Broadening your horizons
Travel is an integral part of a career as a life scientist — in fact, you can’t become a scientist without travelling. In the early stages it’s quite natural to have serious doubts about whether you’re on the right career path. Traveling lets you forget these worries and puts things in perspective.

متن کاملE-inclusion: Beyond individual socio-demographic characteristics
The changing demographic structure of the population, resulting in unparalleled growth of the elderly population, means that e-inclusion of this population group is considered to be a social and political priority in the context of the Information Society. Most research studies have only considered individual variables -such as age, gender, education, income and health- in the explanatory model...
متن کاملDemographic recommendation by means of group profile elicitation using speaker age and gender recognition
In this paper we show a new method of using automatic age and gender recognition to recommend a sequence of multimedia items to a home TV audience comprising multiple viewers. Instead of relying on explicitly provided demographic data for each user, we define an audio-based demographic group profile that captures the age and gender for all members of the audience. A 7-class age and gender class...
متن کاملDemographic drivers of age-dependent sexual selection.
Sexual selection has a critical role in evolution, and it is fundamental to identify what ecological factors drive its variation. Disentangling the ecological correlates of sexual selection over the long term, however, is challenging and has rarely been done in nature. We sought to assess how demographic changes influenced the intensity, direction and form of sexual selection and whether select...
متن کاملGender in Science and Engineering Faculties: Demographic Inertia Revisited
The under-representation of women on faculties of science and engineering is ascribed in part to demographic inertia, which is the lag between retirement of current faculty and future hires. The assumption of demographic inertia implies that, given enough time, gender parity will be achieved. We examine that assumption via a semi-Markov model to predict the future faculty, with simulations that...
