Ice ages are not that easy to define. It may sound intuitive that an ice age represents a frozen planet, but the truth is often more nuanced than that.
An ice age has constant glaciations and deglaciations, with ice sheets pulsating with the rhythm of changing climate. These giants have been consistently waxing and waning, exerting, and lifting pressure from the ocean floor.
Shake up reward and recognition of academic researchers
A radical shake-up in how academic researchers are recognised and rewarded is urgently required to remove roadblocks preventing a more diverse range of early career researchers from advancing into academia.
The current methods of research assessment overvalue outputs and ignore how the research is done and thereby threaten research integrity, according to findings presented to a session of the 2021 annual conference of the European University Association (EUA) on 22 April.
Noémie Aubert Bonn, a post-doctoral researcher at Hasselt University in Belgium and Amsterdam UMC in the Netherlands, investigated recognition and rewards of academic career profiles with Professor Dr Wim Pinxten for her PhD project.

An above-average warm spell at the end of March has been followed by days of extreme frost, destroying the vines with losses amounting to 90 percent above average. The image of the struggle may well be the most depressingly beautiful illustration of the complexities and unpredictability of global climate warming. It is also an agricultural disaster from Bordeaux to Champagne.
