Webinar - “Filing taxes in the USA as a visiting scholar: a quick overview” - 5 May 2021 - 4.30 pm EST

Speaker: Federico Aletti Moderator: Pasquale Pizzimenti, Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Fellow Date: 5 May 2021 Time: 10.30 pm Brussels time; 4.30 pm East Coast ;1.30 pm West Coast Zoom link: https://mariecuriealumni-eu.zoom.us/j/91943354779?pwd=dXhKcjJLYW1najBaNERHeWN0bVplQT09 Webinar Outline – “Filing taxes in the USA as a visiting scholar: a quick overview” Filing taxes as a Visiting Scholar in the USA requires the effort of understanding the basic, albeit complex, conditions of fiscal residency, including the possible differences between federal and state tax return. This task may be less grueling than expected if a systematic approach is taken. We will cover how to determine fiscal residency according to the amount of time spent in the United States during the fiscal year 2020, and how to identify the need to file a federal and/or state return. Tax Day in the USA is traditionally April 15, but in 2021 this deadline has been postponed to May 17 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

2nd Conference of the Researcher Mental Health Observatory (ReMO 2023)

THEME: "Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces" The ReMO COST Action focuses on wellbeing and mental health within academia, a theme of strategic importance for the European Research Area and beyond. We would like to invite our fellow researchers and practitioners to critically think about reporting on Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces. How can stakeholders in the research environment develop interventions tackling this challenge in a rapidly changing world? We therefore hope for an inspiring conference with presentations, workshops and keynotes that will not only showcase the newest findings about the cognitive, motivational, and emotional aspects of Researcher Mental Health and Well-being, but will also be a place to discuss the global challenges that shape the present and will define the future of our research workplaces. The conference will be a hybrid conference within the context of the ReMO COST Action with free online participation and in-person attendance at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary.

Storytelling in Science

Stories are the way the human brain naturally learns and relates to the outside world. that's why you can't do without storytelling when communicating science especially to an audience of non-experts. What are the strategies to be adopted to communicate science without trivializing and without distorting the scientific content?
