The UK has followed much of the rest of Europe and announced its own scientific sanctions against Russia, leaving the US, which has still not issued any centralised guidance, increasingly isolated in its inaction. After reviewing its Russian links, the UK has said its research and innovation funding organisations will not start any new projects with Russia. Payments to existing projects "with a Russian dimension" have been paused pending an assessment of which ones "benefit the Russian regime."

If you're vaccinated, boosted, and wearing an N95, you're protected-no matter what others are doing.

Sometimes it's best to refuse offers and focus on the right projects to benefit your career.

Speeding up development of new vaccines won't help much in the next pandemic, unless world leaders work faster to roll out vaccination globally.

In order to get funding from the National Institutes of Health, researchers now need a plan for sharing and managing their data. 

Municipal waste incinerators only report hazardous air pollutants-like dioxin, mercury, and lead-to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every three years, and PFAS compounds are not yet listed in this category.

An interview that offers a discussion on the role of peer review in uncovering scientific fraud from the perspective of a historian of science.

When JET, the Joint European Torus, announced a breakthrough in the production of fusion energy in February, the celebrations could be heard across Europe. Although based in the UK, the project belongs to a much wider fusion research community.

Alexander Semenov is a marine biologist and head of the scientific diving team at the White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University.

In After Lockdown: A Metamorphosis, Bruno Latour explores how the experience of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic has led us to better understand our connections with other living beings, in ways that might be conducive to confronting our climate crisis. This book will be of interest to anyone wanting to explore the philosophical meanings of lockdowns, Gaia theories and climate politics.

They look so "alien," but octopuses feel and remember pain like we do. We can track their emotional reactions. But their deeper feelings are a mystery.

From a research data repositories’ perspective, offering research data management services in line with the FAIR principles is becoming increasingly important. However, there exists no globally established and trusted approach to evaluate FAIRness to date. This article applies five different available FAIRness evaluation approaches to selected data archived in the World Data Center for Climate (WDCC).

The Commission launched 'European Research Area for Ukraine' (ERA4Ukraine), a one-stop-shop for information and support services to Ukraine-based researchers and researchers fleeing Ukraine. 

Governments and science organizations around the world are grappling over the extent to which sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine should extend to scientific exchanges.

With a goal of making scientific knowledge more freely available to researchers and the public, Open Research Europe (ORE) has spent the first year of its existence establishing its profile and winning over the scientific community.

The European Commission is to review its research agenda to reflect EU-wide policy changes following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 

Russian scientists who oppose the war against Ukraine say that while they have some understanding of the reasons for European scientific sanctions, stopping international collaboration may be counterproductive in the long term.  

As sanctions take effect following its invasion of Ukraine, Russia risks its standing in the research world.

The European Commission today launched a portal that pulls together information and support services for researchers in Ukraine and those fleeing the Russian invasion of the country, amid calls for coordinated EU action. The portal offers help with finding housing, job opportunities and recognition of education qualifications.

Ukrainian scientists say today they need weapons, not grants, as Russian invaders continue to bomb cities, civilian shelters and infrastructure across the country.

As the US Administration unveiled its "bold decadal vision" to accelerate fusion energy, the Department of Energy has announced up to USD50 million of federal funding to support US scientists conducting experimental research in fusion energy science at tokamak and spherical tokamak facilities at home and overseas.

The unconventional method could help astronomers better track meteorites that fall to Earth during the daytime.
