Male scientists are more likely than female ones to publish work that describes itself as “excellent”, “unique” or “novel”, experts have found – a swagger that appears to reap dividends in respect of how often others reference the research. theguardian.com/science/2019… – at West Bengal, India

“When I was little up no one cared about education. I don’t know how to write, read or anything. I will live here forever; if I cross the river how would I survive there? I have to stay here for the rest of my days. My children will not be like that. They will get an education.“

“#Bulbulcyclone came and washed away everything. This used to happen when I was little, but not so badly. Something is definitely happening.” Male, 54, Sagar Island, Ganges Delta #phd #fieldtrip @ExeterDoctoral
