The article is a call to go back to basics, to re-examine the drivers of our projects. My main aim here is to provide a few helpful tips to increase the chances of success and long-term adoption of data-science projects.

The appropriation of genetic research by those with extremist views on race has scientists grappling with how to respond.

A manuscript is much more than words on paper. Painstakingly drafted, fuelled by coffee over long nights, then (constructively) dismantled by colleagues, re-drafted several times, and finally, assembled into something you're proud of.

More than 80 girls from 34 African countries attended the first Coding Camp in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for 10 days in August 2018.

A statement by the High Energy Physics Community about a talk given at CERN by Alessandro Strumia, a well-known particle theorist who is a Professor of Physics at the University of Pisa and a current associate of the theory department at CERN. He argued that the primary explanation for the discrepancies between men and women in theoretical physics is that women are inherently less capable.

A list of the practical challenges and concrete steps that could help or hinder Plan S.

Maria Goeppert Mayer was relegated to unpaid and "volunteer" positions for most of her academic career.

This essay, although hopefully accessible to everyone, is the most thorough breakdown of the study and written for those who are already somewhat familiar with the problems of ideologically-motivated scholarship, radical skepticism and cultural constructivism.

A study released last week revealed that while women account for 13% of startup founders, they hold only 6% of founder equity.

The claim that Plan S is unethical derives from an understanding of academic freedom that appears to rest on foundations that, if not shaky, are at least highly questionable.

And the messages they send.

Code Ocean is a cloud-based computational reproducibility platform that provides researchers and developers an easy way to share, discover and run code published in academic journals and conferences.

The SCNAT is organizing this one day event in Bern, with the aim to give the research community the chance to raise their concern and also the SNF and the European Commission to present their view and to inform about recent trends. The workshop should provide recommendations on how to implement the open data requirements.
