In 2022 women are playing a greater role in Australia’s research effort, and have more influence over science policy, than ever before. Even though women do sit at the very top, their representation at other levels of the research pyramid is out of balance.
This article illustrates some of the diverse environmental impacts of data storage.
More than the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of leadership is imperiling Biden's intent to reinvigorate American science.
The goal is to get Russian scientists to "look at the facts".
Science is key to building resilience and averting future crises - but that is only possible if policy-makers listen to and trust in both the science and the scientists.
Papers are a key currency for academic careers. LGBQ academic scientists who don’t disclose their sexual orientation in the workplace publish fewer papers than their out or non-LGBQ peers.
Two years into the pandemic, the idea of "following the science" has oversimplified what's actually a complex array of factors that policymakers must weigh in formulating a response. Many other factors play into making pandemic policy.
ASAPBio offers set of principles and guidelines for preprint feedback.
The European Commission has suspended payments to Russian institutions involved in EU-funded research and innovation projects. In addition, the EU will not launch any new cooperation projects with Russian universities, research institutes and companies.
Innovation challenges offer valuable lessons and resources for researcher-entrepreneurs.
"We respect Ukrainian statehood … and we treat the European choice of our neighbours with understanding." So said some 650 Russian scientists and science journalists in an open letter last week criticising Moscow's onslaught against Ukraine.
Science in Ukraine has come to a halt. Russia's invasion has crippled the country's newly established research agency and forced its leader to a bomb shelter in Kyiv.
This study found that the average age of scientists at the time of the breakthrough was higher for researchers from less developed countries. Moreover, individual opportunities in the world were extremely unequal by country of birth, gender significantly conditioned any participation in research, and the probability of becoming a top researcher more than doubled for individuals with parents belonging to the most favoured occupational categories.
Governments, universities and individual academics across Europe over are being forced to choose whether to cut research ties with Russia after Moscow shocked the scientific community with its assault on Ukraine. Germany, Russia's second biggest research collaborator after the US, has said it will halt all scientific cooperation, while the UK is reviewing its links.
Richard de Grijs comes to grips with his field's use of potentially offensive language.
Exclusive: Some Canon Institute for Global Studies posts call the climate crisis 'fake news' and compare Greta Thunberg to a communist
As extreme weather events become commonplace, threatening communities and economies across the world, the UN is helping policy-makers and leaders by projecting the impact of future climate hazards, and recommending the best, most cost-effective ways to adapt.
It remains unclear how tropical cyclones (TCs) decay from their ocean lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) to landfall intensity (LI), yet this stage is of fundamental importance governing the socio-economic impact of TCs.
"We respect Ukrainian statehood … and we treat the European choice of our neighbours with understanding." So said some 650 Russian scientists and science journalists in an open letter last week criticising Moscow's onslaught against Ukraine.
Russia's invasion has the potential to disrupt clinical trials in Ukraine, warns one of the many companies staging trials in the nation.
Projects in jeopardy as EU revokes millions in grant offers after failure of trade talks
Last year, nearly half of Nature authors agreed to publish anonymous referee reports.
This article explores how factors relating to grades and grading affect the correctness of choices that grant-review panels make among submitted proposals. It seeks to identify interventions in panel design that may be expected to increase the correctness of choices.
Climate and human management, such as hay harvest, shape grasslands. With both disturbances co-occurring, understanding how these ecosystems respond to these combined drivers may aid in projecting future changes in grasslands.
The pandemic created a colossal demand for scientific evidence to inform decision-making. Now researchers are mapping out what went wrong and what needs to change.
Scientists from the World Economic Forum's Young Scientists community want to see the social value of scientific research better recognised and acknowledged. Published today by Frontiers Policy Labs, a call has been signed by 52 scholars from some of the world's foremost academic institutions. The signatories say that for science to become rooted in decision-making, a new culture of engagement between policymakers and scientists needs to be established.
