					<description><![CDATA[Zuzana Osifová, a scientist and writer, has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Weizmann Institute in Israel for two years. She is supported by fellowships from the Experientia Foundation and the Canadian Azrieli Foundation. Her work focuses on developing new methods of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) that could help reveal the mysteries of protein folding and dynamics at physiological concentrations. But what is it like to do research and to live in a country where the sound of sirens does not mean the monthly “siren test”, but a real need to run for shelter?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gor Vartazaryan, a graduate of law and political science at Charles University, is currently pursuing a one-year MPhil in Socio-Legal Research at Oxford. In his text, he offers insight into what a fully research-focused degree entails, how challenging it is to be admitted among a handful of successful candidates and to secure funding, and how everyday academic life functions at one of the world’s most prestigious universities. He also reflects openly on the experience of intensive mentoring, informal debates with leading scholars, and a shift in his own perspective on how academic work should be evaluated.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In Czech science, we often look “towards the West” to find inspiration for good practice. In terms of the national grant funding agencies, chemist Soňa Krajčovičová (University of Cambridge), who has experienced the Czech application system from the point of view of someone looking to apply for funding and return to a Czech institution, argues that perhaps looking “towards the North” might suffice.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jiří Růžička works as an incubation manager at the biotech incubator i&#038;i Prague, where he focuses on innovations in drug development, diagnostics, and medical technologies. His work centers on analyzing scientific projects from the perspective of their commercial potential and supporting early-stage scientific start-ups and spin-offs. What does he think about the relationship between basic research and the commercialization of scientific discoveries? Why should young scientists consider creating a start-up, and when is the right time to start? What role do incubators play in this process? He answers all of these questions in the following interview…]]></description>
