Inkpath helps you take charge of your own development, bringing your skills, training and achievements together in one place. Reflect on your current skills, spot the gaps that matter for where you want to go, and build a picture of your development over time. From there, you'll see opportunities curated by your institution or organisation โ workshops, courses, conferences, placements and more โ matched to what you're working on. As you go, Inkpath keeps the record for you. Attendance, reflections, evidence and outcomes are captured as you complete activities, so you always have something concrete to draw on for supervisions, appraisals, fellowship applications and job interviews. You'll need an account with a participating institution to sign in. If your organisation uses Inkpath, sign in with your usual institutional credentials. If you're not sure, ask your institution and they will be able to supply the credentials needed.

Understand difficult academic papers, don't just summarise them. Scienze turns any paper into swipeable cards and explains each paragraph in plainer language, one level at a time, until it clicks. SWIPE TO SIMPLIFY Swipe left on any card and that paragraph is explained in plainer language. Still not clear? Swipe again. Each swipe goes a level simpler, so you decide how far to go, and Scienze remembers how many passes each passage needed. Unlike a summary, you still follow the whole argument, just in words that work for you. READING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE? Academic writing is hard enough in your first language. Plainer explanations and instant definitions help you follow dense papers without stopping to translate every sentence. BUILT FOR A PHONE SCREEN โข Papers split into focused cards: abstract, methods, figures, results โข No endless scrolling and no pinch-zooming โข Cards keep your place and show your progress through the paper โข Select any word or phrase for an instant, in-context definition โข Tap a figure reference and the chart opens beside the text, with its caption ADD A PAPER ANY WAY YOU LIKE โข Upload a PDF โข Paste a URL โข Photograph printed pages from a book or journal, and Scienze extracts the text and builds the cards for you MAKE IT YOURS โข Add your own notes to any card โข Bookmark the passages worth returning to โข Jump straight between sections READ ANYWHERE Saved papers and reading progress live on your device, so you can keep reading on the train, on a flight, or wherever the signal drops. WHO IT'S FOR Undergraduates, PhD students, early-career researchers, students reading in a second language, and anyone curious enough to open a scientific paper and honest enough to admit that some paragraphs need a second pass. Or a seventh. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://scienze.co.uk/privacy
