Le monde des revues scientifiques au bord de l’asphyxie

Plus de trois millions d’articles sont publiés chaque année dans les revues scientifiques, les chercheurs étant incités à les multiplier pour se distinguer. Une logique économique perverse s’est installée, qui profite d’abord aux grands éditeurs et encourage les fraudes les plus inattendues. Des propositions alternatives émergent pour sauver le partage des connaissances.

Investigating intracellular heating rates with millikelvin nanothermometry

Nanothermometry within living cells is an important endeavour in physics,as the mechanisms of heat diffusion in such complex and dynamic environments remain poorly understood. In biology, nanothermometry may offer new insights into cellular biology and open new avenues for drug-discovery. Previou...

The False Dichotomy of Merit and Inclusion

In merit-based systems, fairness should be manifested in all aspects of organizational life. But while the ideal of a merit-based society is attractive, research shows that bias in promotions and reward distribution is just as prevalent as bias in hiring, exacerbating and multiplying rather than reducing unfairness in the span of our careers. In the world we live in, true meritocracy, where everyone plays on an even field, requires the removal of many unfair barriers. It requires inclusion. By removing systemic barriers, organizations can create environments where inclusion enhances meritocracy and merit mechanisms enhance inclusion, ensuring that talent and effort genuinely determine success.
