Sérieusement, on devrait parler de ce gender-ratio. 80% des affaires traitées par le CNESER disciplinaire concernent des enseignants chercheurs hommes.
Une université qui chercherait à diminuer son exposition au risque juridique devrait n'embaucher que des femmes. En particulier en PR.

NIH cuts spotlight a hidden crisis facing patients with experimental brain implants People with experimental brain implants often turn to the treatment as a last resort, hoping to improve their health when everything else has failed.

Breakthroughs like brain stimulation for depression are built on public science funded by the NIH. If we slash that support, we stall life-saving progress.

A new study led by @doriswang.bsky.social's lab developed a systematic way to quantify key aspects of gait in patients with #Parkinsons and used machine learning to identify personalized deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings to improve walking: www.ucsf.edu/news/2025/07...

Hi @europepmc.org - quick question! I understand that you include publications from PubMed. What happens if some articles become unavailable on PubMed? Do you have a back-up database, or are you extracting articles directly from PubMed - in which case disappearing from PubMed = disappearing from you

The US is NOT safe for researchers anymore

I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months from now, several countries officially discourage their citizens from visiting the US
