Implementation science is all about seeing how well ideas work in real life. While we often focus on making things better and testing if they work, it's also important to see how they perform in real situations. This study looks at an intense support program for people with HIV. The goal is to figur
Sixty years ago, the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) started as a small group aiming to connect scientists in Europe. Today, it's a global force with over 30, 000 members across 39 societies. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, FEBS Letters held a writing contest asking participan
When we think about the history of ageing research, we often hear about the men who made significant discoveries. However, many women have also made extraordinary contributions to our understanding of ageing, but they haven't always gotten the recognition they deserve. Let's shine a light on some of
Have you ever wondered why science textbooks mostly feature achievements by Western scientists? This is because science is deeply entwined with the histories of past empires, leading to a bias towards Western knowledge. Minoritised ethnicities are often underrepresented in science curricula. The pus
Ever wondered how neuroscientists share their data? The BRAIN Initiative has set up a complex data-sharing network with seven different archives. Each has its own rules, making it a bit like navigating a maze. But why so complicated? Well, it allows specialized archives to cater to specific research
Moises A. Carreon is a name that echoes in the halls of scientific discovery. You might not know him by name, but his work has certainly touched your life. Ever wondered how membranes in water filters work? Moises is the guy who made those filters better. As a professor, he's spent years teaching an
Like a factory with two functions, some metal-organic cages (MOCs) can either store the pollutant SO2 or turn it into a less harmful form. The key? Different chemical companions, known as counterions. By swapping these companions, scientists can flip the switch between just trapping SO2 or convertin
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Advanced Study Institute (ASI) kicked off with a provocative lecture.
