Lo que Gratton intenta explicar a los alrededor de 200 asistentes al World Leadership Forum, el congreso organizado por WOBI con El Confidencial como ‘media partner’ que tuvo lugar en la Hesperia Barcelona Tower este jueves y viernes, es que el cambio ya está aquí: “Aún no hemos conseguido reinventar el trabajo, pero estamos en ello”. Así que anima a los empresarios a plantearse tres preguntas: “¿Hacéis lo necesario para contribuir a mejorar la productividad a vuestros trabajadores, es decir, para que creen algo valioso? ¿Formáis grupos de iguales que compartan su aprendizaje? ¿Los ayudáis a mejorar su reputación?” Los humanos aprendemos viendo a otros humanos, y por lo tanto, un buen líder debe ser aquel que conjugue unas buenas cualidades con la calidez personal.

Russia is embracing gene-editing. A 111-billion-rouble (US$1.7-billion) federal programme aims to create 10 new varieties of gene-edited crops and animals by 2020 — and another 20 by 2027.

Alexey Kochetov, director of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, welcomed the research programme, noting that genetics in Russia has been “chronically underfinanced” for decades. Funding for science plummeted in the 1990s following the break-up of the Soviet Union, and Russia still lags behind other major powers: in 2017, it spent 1.11% of its gross domestic product on research, compared with 2.13% in China and 2.79% in the United States.

 

But some researchers doubt that the goals can be met on time, and worry that the initiative does not address the other issues they face, such as excessive bureaucracy.

 

It is also not clear whether the 111 billion roubles is included in the existing federal civilian-science budget — which in 2018 was 364 billion roubles, with 22 billion roubles spent on genetics research — or whether it comes in addition to that budget.

 

The programme, which was announced in April, has also attracted interest because it suggests that some gene-edited products will now be exempt from a law passed in 2016 that prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) organisms in Russia, except for research purposes. Previously, it was not clear whether gene-edited organisms were included in the ban.

"Nul besoin d’être un expert pour le constater : dans le milieu des sciences, les femmes sont largement sous-représentées. Pour y remédier, deux américaines ont créé une banque de données de femmes expertes et spécialistes prêtes à prendre la parole en public dans les universités, les conférences ou les médias."

As an educator, summer is a time for me to focus on a lot of things that tend to slip by throughout the school year. One of the most important is self-care. In order to bring our best selves to our classrooms and our schools, we must make time for our needs each day. Making time to do some normal things like catching up with family and friends, go on a vacation or a staycation even, and sleep in late, are good ways to recharge over the summer break.

When summer arrives, it is easy to get into a new daily routine, finding time for all of the things that we wanted to do but couldn’t fit into our schedules throughout the year. It may take a few weeks to adjust, but I find that once the end of June arrives, I am well into my summer routine of learning and enjoying the extra time with family and friends. The days are still filled but with more than work, although many educators seek professional development during the summer, it is on a more relaxed schedule. Many take advantage of the extra time and lack of a set schedule to engage in personal and professional development. Whether it is a time to travel with family and friends or something more professional like attending conferences or taking a class, we all find ways to fill all of that extra time. We get used to a new routine, and likely feel pretty good about our improvement and feel some balance until August arrives and educators return to their classrooms, hopefully, recharged and excited for the new school year.

Et si les plantes atteignaient un point de rupture ? Jusqu'ici, grâce à la photosynthèse, les plantes ont réussi à adapter leur absorption du CO2 à l'explosion des émissions de ces dernières décennies. Mais les scientifiques doutent de leur capacité si l'augmentation continue à ce rythme. Et ce facteur n'est pas négligeable, les plantes absorbent actuellement 30 % des émissions de la planète bouleversant les prévisions liées à la crise climatique.

The Houston Astros' José Altuve steps up to the plate on a 3-2 count, studies the pitcher and the situation, gets the go-ahead from third base, tracks the ball's release, swings ... and gets a single up the middle. Just another trip to the plate for the three-time American League batting champion.

Could a robot get a hit in the same situation? Not likely.

As technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and robotics take on bigger roles in daily life, job opportunities for people who make it all work — and who will push those technologies forward — are expanding.

That means academic institutions are developing new degrees to train that future workforce.

Many emerging programs are at prestigious universities with storied technology programs, such as Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says Dylan Hendricks. He co-directs the Future 50 partnership at the Institute for the Future, a nonprofit that helps organizations plan for the future.
