Rewiring science diplomacy
For science diplomacy to remain relevant in this era, it must develop a new mode of engagement—transactional science diplomacy.
Sharing research data: researcher behaviour and attitudes
Federal funders of research are increasing the stringency of their expectations that researchers make data collected in federally funded projects publicly available.

Pathways to gender equality in academia. National factors shaping women’s early career progression across Europe
Pathways to gender equality in academia. National factors shaping women’s early career progression across Europe
Throughout Europe, women remain underrepresented at the top of the scientific career ladder. Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis, we show how different combinations of science, gender equality, and social policies interact to constitute five distinct national pathways for gender-fair early career progression.

Scientists’ role in defending democracy
We know from other countries and contexts that aspiring authoritarians often target scientists, elevate loyalists, and suppress or sideline any who might have the knowledge, expertise, or power to challenge government transgression and failures to make science-based policy decisions. In response to such threats, the US scientific community can work to rebuild critical elements of the federal science enterprise now being dismantled or compromised, including science advisory committees and scientific assessments, which for decades have helped ensure that the best available science informs policy decisions.

Why being open about science can make people trust it less, and what to do about it
Why being open about science can make people trust it less, and what to do about it
When people trust science, they can make better decisions, follow helpful rules and work together on big problems like health, climate change and new technology. But if people stop trusting science, it's easier for false information to spread, and harder to solve those problems.
