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.
Scienze

Scienze turns dense scientific papers into something you can actually read on your phone. Upload a PDF, paste a URL, or point your camera at a printed page. Scienze splits the paper into focused cards โ abstract, methods, figures, results โ and you swipe through them one at a time, like turning pages built for a phone screen. The heart of Scienze is one gesture: swipe left on any card and the paragraph is explained in plainer language. Not simple enough? Swipe again. Each pass goes a level deeper โ depth 2, depth 3, depth 7 โ until the idea finally clicks. You choose how far to go; Scienze keeps track of how many times each passage has been simplified. No endless PDF scrolling and no pinch-zooming. Cards keep your place, show your progress through the paper, and let you move forwards and backwards with a swipe. Select a word or phrase right on the card for an instant, in-context definition โ no switching to a browser tab mid-sentence. Figure references are tappable, and charts open beside the text that cites them, with their captions. You never lose your place to go hunting for "Figure 3b". Photograph pages from a book or journal and Scienze extracts the text, analyses the structure, and builds readable cards from it in seconds. Add your own note to any card, bookmark the passages worth returning to, and jump between sections โ abstract, methods and more. Saved articles and reading progress live on your device, so you can keep reading on the train, on a flight, or anywhere the connection drops. Scienze is built for PhD students, researchers, undergraduates, and anyone curious enough to open a scientific paper โ and honest enough to admit that some paragraphs need a second pass. Or a seventh. Download Scienze and read smarter, not harder. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://scienze.co.uk/privacy
