"(...) Although you are required to include women and elderly in clinical trials, almost nobody disaggregates the data afterwards according to sex," says Goda Raibyte-Aleksa, Maria Leptin | EMBO #ScienceJournalism Fellow: https://www.embo.org/people/taking-a-deep-dive-into-womens-health-funding/ 🧪
Online forums and AI are not reliable sources information. A study from Ohio State University found that about of 1000 people surveyed, 51% used AI to make an important health decision instead of going to a medical professional. 🧪 www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

The Trump administration’s continued attacks on academia and its funding cuts to scientific research could shrink the U.S. economy by nearly $1 trillion over 10 years. That could leave the U.S. lagging behind China, which is investing heavily in research. 🧪🦠 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/b...

Phil Bourne, a key influential figure of our time for his positive, creative and ambitious thinking ... and doing! I remember working with him in @iscb.bsky.social and also fighting (and loosing) on OA/PlosCB issues. Now, both are fussed in good memories of the time with him. Rest in peace.

Happy 25th birthday to @icreacommunity.bsky.social, which has had a huge impact on making Catalonia a scientific powerhouse in the 21st century. This piece reminds us that investing in people is a powerful policy. Talent attracts talent, and entire research ecosystems grow around it.
The extraordinary league that attracts the world's best scientists to Catalonia
This initiative to attract and retain talent, a world first and which has inspired other international programs, has boosted our country's research system.
