Which Nationalities Consider Religion Most Important?

Around the world, which nationalities place the most importance on religion in their daily lives? Pew's Global Attitudes Survey revealed that almost all Ethiopians and Indonesians consider religion very important. The survey found that religion is generally more important to people in poorer countries than richer ones. Americans are firmly in the middle of the pack with just over half (53 percent) considering religion an important aspect of their lives. Read more.

How early-career setbacks can set you up for success

Abstract

Setbacks are an integral part of a scientific career, yet little is known about their long-term effects. Here we examine junior scientists applying for National Institutes of Health R01 grants. By focusing on proposals fell just below and just above the funding threshold, we compare near-miss with narrow-win applicants, and find that an early-career setback has powerful, opposing effects. On the one hand, it significantly increases attrition, predicting more than a 10% chance of disappearing permanently from the NIH system. Yet, despite an early setback, individuals with near misses systematically outperform those with narrow wins in the longer run. Moreover, this performance advantage seems to go beyond a screening mechanism, suggesting early-career setback appears to cause a performance improvement among those who persevere. Overall, these findings are consistent with the concept that “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger,” which may have broad implications for identifying, training and nurturing junior scientists.

After Cristiano Ronaldo made the switch from Real Madrid to Juventus, his annual salary was in the region of $34 million, according to Goal.com.

It found that Ronaldo has earned $47.8 million from paid Instagram posts over the past year and that he is the platform's highest earner. Read more.
