A medical school dean is putting her own money toward training the doctors who do double duty as researchers. The new scholarship removes financial barriers for students choosing an eight-year path that bridges patient care and scientific discovery.
Two new AI systems are helping human scientists discover promising drugs faster by analyzing mountains of research and data. While they can't replace human expertise, they're already finding treatments that work in real lab tests.
The National Institutes of Health is asking scientists to weigh in on a proposal that could spread research funding more fairly across universities. The plan would limit how many grants one researcher can hold, opening doors for talented young scientists at smaller schools.
A leading conservation group is empowering young African scientists to tackle environmental challenges through teamwork and real-world solutions. The shift from solo research to collaborative action is transforming how the continent addresses climate change.
While history often overlooks their contributions, five pioneering Indian women broke barriers in science labs across the country. Their discoveries in cancer research, chemistry, and physics paved the way for thousands of women scientists working today.
A research scientist in Ghana is pushing to close the gender gap in science and technology fields. Her vision links women's participation in STEM to achieving global sustainability goals.
Michael McElroy, a pioneering atmospheric scientist who helped explain the ozone hole and predicted climate change in the 1970s, died last month at 86. His curiosity about Earth's atmosphere shaped decades of environmental research and inspired generations of scientists.
A saree worn by ISRO scientist Nandini Harinath during India's first Mars mission is now displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The red and blue garment represents how India's space program challenged global stereotypes about scientists.
Two new AI systems are helping researchers find promising treatments in hours instead of years. Robin and Co-Scientist work alongside human scientists to speed up the grueling process of drug discovery.
Two AI systems are helping scientists find new medicines in hours instead of years, working as collaborative research partners rather than replacements. Robin and Co-Scientist have already identified promising treatments for eye disease, liver scarring, and leukemia.
Scientists around the world are capturing breathtaking images while doing groundbreaking conservation and research work. This year's winning photos from Nature's Scientist at Work contest showcase everything from extinct birds learning to migrate again to technicolor algae blooms from the sky.
A seven-year-old girl in India watched Sputnik cross the sky in 1957 and dreamed of becoming a space scientist. Dr. Hashima Hasan made that dream real, becoming the first female program scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope and fixing the Hubble.
In 1918, Katharine Burr Blodgett became the first woman scientist at General Electric's legendary research lab, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries that changed modern technology. Her story of courage and brilliance continues to inspire young scientists today.
Artificial intelligence is accelerating research, but scientists remain irreplaceable in the discovery process. Here's why human creativity and collaboration still drive every breakthrough.
A major conference in South Africa revealed how scientists and journalists can work together to expose research misconduct and improve science coverage. The collaboration could transform how we catch and report academic fraud.
Researchers share the female scientists who shaped their careers, from Nobel Prize winners to modern mentors. Their stories reveal how scientific progress depends on curiosity, persistence, and lifting others up.
A woman's lung nearly doubled in size after cancer surgery, proving organs scientists thought were fixed can actually regenerate. The discovery could reverse incurable diseases affecting millions worldwide.
A new microscope lets scientists see how plants store a "memory" of winter inside their cells, helping explain why flowers bloom in spring. The discovery could help us grow food in a changing climate.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a 2-billion-year-old galaxy that isn't rotating, a behavior scientists only expect in much older galaxies. The finding challenges our understanding of how early galaxies formed and evolved.
When Jessica McDonald spotted what she thought was a rat speeding across a Queensland road, she discovered something remarkable: a platypus, moving fast and far from its river home. Scientists are using increased sightings like these to push for stronger protections for the iconic but declining species.
