Bonjour,
Des chercheurs américains ont réussi à filmer un électron en "live" dans l'atome. Voir Yahoo News: "most viewed"/ "science". Il est temps pour nous Européens de bien payer nos chercheurs. Il est grand temps de financer à fond nos universités scientifiques.
Qui trouvera la prochaine source d'énergie du Monde ? Les USA ou l'Europe ?
Bien à vous,
Frederic (Paris)

Dear Frederic, thanks for the info - it's always interesting to hear about new scientific breakthroughs! I looked up the story on Yahoo News and found out that it's actually Swedish researchers (University of Lund) who filmed an electron! So this innovation actually came from a European university:

2. Better conditions for doctorate students par Asynjen

Hi again Frederic, I think you have a very good point regarding research funding. The wages/ stipends of Ph.D. students is a good example. This articles gives an overview of salaries in different EU-countries and reveals some serious problems:

I am not saying that a Ph.D. stipend should be competitive to a private sector salary, but the income should be sufficient for the student to support herself - and a Ph.D. position should of course include social security. This is, in my opinion, a social problem.
