If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back.

I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

Since the 1990s the number of science-policy interfaces (SPIs) has grown to inform decision-making about global environmental crises. Velander studied how SPIs collaborate & found influential individuals & the UN promote collaboration but hurdles limit knowledge co-production doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
