He stated that he now expects at least an award from the Minister of Science and Higher Education or another minister for his contribution to Polish science, otherwise he will release "it". https://t.co/jl9I9ksuwQ #nauka #badania #ministerstwo (translated)
Scientists have discovered a new species of freshwater mosasaur, Garamaudo bauciensis, that lived about 84 million years ago in Europe, which was approximately 2.5 meters long, swam like an eel, and had limbs adapted for walking. #mozazaur #nauka #odkrycia (translated)
The author of the entry stated that scientists from North Carolina State University in the USA have developed a fabric that allows light, water, and air to pass through, which can be used to cover strawberries. According to him, its use could increase yields by more than three times and significantly reduce water and pesticide consumption. #rolnictwo #truskawki #nauka #USA (translated)
Low salaries at higher education institutions in Poland, especially compared to the private sector, deter young scientists, which leads to serious personnel shortages, particularly in smaller cities and in the field of technical sciences. #zarobki #szkolnictwo #nauka (translated)
A strange cloud on Mars, known as AMEC, turned out to be even more unusual when scientists discovered that its formation requires a rare physical process, homogeneous ice nucleation, which opens new perspectives for research on planetary atmospheres. #Mars #nauka #atmosfera (translated)
Andrzej Dragan recalled the opinion of a mathematician from Princeton, who after reading the proof of the Grothendieck hypothesis provided by OpenAI wrote that one could sense a "touch of infinity" in it. Dragan noted that the discussion about AI has shifted from ridiculing it as a "stochastic parrot" to the belief that in mathematics, humans are yielding to its capabilities. #matematyka #AI #nauka (translated)

ZarobkiLekarzy.pl questioned some of the arguments regarding the work of doctors. They agreed that studies last 6 years, but mocked the claim about 5 years of unpaid internships. They pointed out that an internship lasting 13 months and paid 7000 would be attractive to 25% of Poles, and half reach such earnings only after 20 years of work. The author wrote that residency lasts 4-6 years, and the minimum resident salary is 13000. They commented on the claim about the necessity for continuous learning by comparing this issue to working in IT, where — as they stated — learning is also continuous. They also sarcastically referred to the argument about responsibility. In response to a mention of 0.05% fraudsters, they wrote that according to analyses 10% of doctors are "millionaire-thieves." #studia #praca #sukces (translated)

The author of the entry questioned Kania's claim about "hundreds of scientific publications" by Karol Nawrocki. He referred to the official IPN biography, according to which Nawrocki wrote seven books and several dozen scientific and journalistic articles, as well as to the biography on the website of the President of Poland, which mentions several dozen scientific and popular science publications. He indicated that Nawrocki's leadership of the Museum of the Second World War and the IPN does not justify, in his opinion, defining these institutions as the largest educational and research facilities in Poland. The author accused Kania of exaggerating Nawrocki's achievements and reducing Radosław Sikorski's accomplishments to his estate in Chobielin and his wife Anne Applebaum. He pointed out Oxford, Sikorski's international activities, and his roles as Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Speaker of the Sejm, and Member of the European Parliament. He added that Sikorski's statement could be criticized, but he did not believe that its history was fabricated. He also criticized Kania for basing the correction on what he called hyperboles and omissions. #nauka #publikacje #Polska (translated)
Jacek Piekara wrote that Radosław Sikorski only has a bachelor's degree and has not completed a full course of studies. He pointed out that he does not consider the academic title to be significant, but in his opinion, a person with a bachelor's degree should be careful in accusing Karol Nawrocki of lacking education, who—as Piekara noted—has a doctorate and an academic record. #wykształcenie #nauka #edukacja (translated)
