Science has a big problem. A place called arXiv helps scientists share their work quickly. It's like a big online noticeboard where researchers post their findings before they get officially checked. This has been super useful for a long time. But now, AI is causing trouble. AI can make fake scienc
Houston and southeast Texas are facing a winter storm, and officials are taking action. Montgomery County has asked people to stay home until at least Monday. County Judge Mark Keough showed how the county's emergency team is working hard to keep everyone safe. He said that leaders from police, EMS,
Science news isn't all doom and gloom. Sure, there are serious issues like climate change and pandemics. But there's also a lot of wonder out there. The Science desk at The New York Times covers both. They report on big threats. But they also share small, surprising stories. One person leading this
Science is not just about big discoveries. It's also about the process. A philosopher makes a strong case for this idea. Science often gets attention for big breakthroughs. But what about the everyday work? A philosopher says this work is just as important. It's not just about the results. It's abo
Houston's basketball team is on a roll, and they just proved it again. They beat Baylor 77-55 on Saturday. This win was special because it set a new school record. They've now won 16 games in a row on the road. That's a big deal! Five players scored in double figures for Houston. Emanuel Sharp led
Science funding in the U. S. is in trouble. The federal government, under the Trump administration, has been cutting back on support for research. This has left scientists, universities, and medical centers scrambling for alternatives. Now, some states are stepping in to fill the gap. In New York,
Chief Justice John Roberts wrapped up the Supreme Court's 2025 report with a quote from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th U. S. president. Coolidge, known for his quiet demeanor and conservative fiscal policies, spoke these words in 1926. He was celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Indepe
Science is not perfect. It changes over time. Some people think this means we should not trust it. They point out that scientists have been wrong before. For example, they once thought eggs were bad for you. Then they said eggs were fine. Now they are not sure again. But this way of thinking is not
Science funding from the government has led to big wins in the past. Think about HIV treatments. These were made possible thanks to research done at universities with federal money. The 1980 Bayh-Dole Act was a big deal. It allowed schools and non-profits to patent their discoveries. This meant they
Science is a big part of our everyday life. It's in the apps we use, the food we eat, and the medicine we take. But who funds all this science? The government does, through research grants. These grants help scientists explore everything from the tiniest particles to the biggest weather systems. But
