With today's existing translation tools to overcome language barriers, global collaboration should not be a major feat for researchers. However, through the COVID-19 pandemic, articles published in Chinese journals focusing on important aspects of the disease were never cited by English journals.
Researchers have grown mini brains with light-sensitive eye structures that could lead to breakthrough treatments for vision disorders.
The largest-ever independent gathering of interest groups, thought-leaders, science advisors to governments and global institutions, researchers, academics, communicators and diplomats is taking place in Montreal and online.
This is the first part in a series about scientists who've launched and established careers at nonprofit professional-development organizations.

Scientists are observing changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and across the whole climate system, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, released today. Many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.
John Ioannidis is a highly influential scientist whom we at SBM have lauded on many an occasion. Since the pandemic, though, he's downplayed the dangers of COVID-19. What the happened to him?

You could almost hear the collective groan of frustration when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention again updated its guidance, encouraging people to wear face masks to stop the spread of COVID-19 - but understanding of the coronavirus has evolved with the virus itself, and this new guidance is based on new information.
The COVID-19 response continues to be driven by epidemiological priorities, and yet, the epidemic and responses are situated within specific political and health system contexts. Social science brings an understanding of context and draws attention to politics, power and social difference.
Art has long been used as a means to communicate science. In ancient Greece, poetry was a powerful way of communicating about mathematics, astrology and the natural world. Fast forward 13 centuries, past the invention of the printing press which saw science communication flourish, to today, where artistic skills and science have come together once again - this time to explore the power of storytelling through comics. ERCcOMICS was the result of a search by the European Research Council to find an innovative and creative way to communicate ERC funded projects.
