Demographically India is in a very unique position compared to many other countries in the world. At present, the under-25 population in India is more than 50% of India's total population, and it is predicted that it would comprise ~25% of the world population within the next decade. This "demographic dividend" provides India with a…

In this report we present a method to incorporate applied catalysis research into the multiyear educational undergraduate program of Chemical Engineering at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (UAS). In this way the total student population is introduced to research and thereby contributes to the scientific output of the department, and…

Having a shared language such as English facilitates the globalization of science, but it can also limit science by posing barriers for those who have learned English-as-an-additional language (Eng+). Research on the experiences of Eng+ graduate students and postdoctoral researchers ("trainees") is needed as our scientific community…

Science dissemination or popularization of science refers to the act of facilitating the understanding of research and works of scientific and/or technological origin among the general public. Science dissemination is a relevant issue in the realm of public policy. Considering that in Brazil, the university is responsible for most of the…

The ability to navigate and understand the chemical literature is integral to the scientific research process. Learning these skills is therefore an important, though often overwhelming, part of an undergraduate chemical education. We describe an inquiry-based program designed to help chemistry students begin to learn to search and read the…
