Are groundbreaking science discoveries becoming harder to find? Researchers are arguing over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning – and how to remedy the problem.

A feature in Nature examines the debate among researchers over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning and how to remedy the problem. 🧪

I’m also curious how to include the use of an AI tool in the Disclosures or Acknowledgements. It’s helpful to know which section of the manuscript should include this, and what language to use for the disclosure to be clear?

Interesting- I tend to emphasize the utility of LLMs as a tool- ChatGPT and NotebookLM have become very helpful to articulate some of my newer ideas. I think the ambiguity comes from the types of prompts individuals use. “Write my paper” is different than “organize these thoughts in an outline.”

Which programming language should I use? A guide for early-career researchers Computer scientists and bioinformaticians address four key questions to help rookie coders to make the right choice.

Nature asked computer scientists and bioinformaticians what advice they would give to researchers who recognize the need to pick up some coding skills but don’t know where to start. Here are four key questions to help you decide. #Academicsky #Compsky 🧪

Exclusive: a Nature analysis signals the beginnings of a US science brain drain A trawl of job views and application data suggests jobseekers are looking abroad as the Trump administration’s cuts to science take hold.

Researchers in the US are seeking career opportunities abroad as President Donald Trump’s administration slashes science funding and workforce numbers, finds an analysis of Nature’s jobs-board data. #Academicsky 🧪

A must read for today's afternoon presented today at #AACR25 by C. Curtis: beatiful through work on classical breast cancer subtypes characterization shows deep similarity between HER2+ and ER+ high risk www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really loved @10xgenomics.bsky.social session @theaacr.bsky.social #AACR25 #SpotlightPresentation by Jingxian Liu on Tumour Evolution & Clonal detection using Visium spatial tech.

Can't wait to set up some collaborative conversations with the Ding Lab @washumedicine.bsky.social!

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

'Fight for your science': Researchers urged to speak out at AACR “We are navigating political interference, institutional instability, and growing uncertainty across the cancer research enterprise": At AACR, cancer researchers are speaking up.

There is a LOT happening at #AACR25, including some big name researchers, including former government officials, speaking out against cuts to science funding.

And there are also some amazing data!

William N. Hait, MD, PhD, FAACR, receives the AACR-Margaret Foti Award for Leadership and Extraordinary Achievements in Cancer Research at the #AACR25 Opening Ceremony.

I couldn’t agree more that these grants are more important than ever. As a young investigator, I find hope in the creation of these essential grants as we face critical barriers in public funding. #CancerResearchSavesLives #AACR25

"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." AACR President Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.
