COVID-19 is restructuring societies. Loneliness is a global health threat. Large language models are outputting biased health care information, and human–artificial intelligence (AI) interfaces are reshaping how we live. For most humans, technology, biology, and society are hopelessly entangled. Are the sciences prepared to tackle the contemporary human experience?

Aesthetics Watch that bird!Rainbow lorikeets are familiar birds now found widely across Australia in part because of human interventions. PHOTO: EDWIN GIESBERS/MINDENOpen in viewerBirds are one of the most visible components of wildlife, and people everywhere notice and usually appreciate them. Understanding what humans find attractive about birds not only reveals aspects of human cognition but may also help us improve conservation messaging and the perceived value of nonhuman species.

David Sabatini, the high-flying biologist who lost positions at three prominent U.S. institutions after breaching sexual misconduct policies, began a new job on 1 October as a senior scientist at the prestigious and wealthy Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Prague (IOCB), an arm of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS). The hire has divided Czech scientists and ignited new debate about second chances for those who commit sexual misconduct.

Calyampudi Radhakrishna (“C. R.”) Rao, a giant in the field of statistics, died on 22 August at the age of 102. Rao invented information geometry and other fundamental tools in statistics, and he contributed to geology, biometry, demography, econometrics, genetics, anthropology, medicine, and national planning through foundational statistical theorems, scientific collaborations, and decades of advocacy of statistical practices. Generations of statisticians benefited from his mentorship.

Most biological processes are driven by proximity—our cells rely on the right proteins meeting at the correct time and place. With the help of small molecules, we can interfere with these encounters and block or force certain partnerships. A particularly promising strategy, targeted protein degradation, involves bringing together the degradation machinery, typically E3 ligase proteins, and a cellular “offender” (1).

AbstractScientific reconstructions of the behavior of the ancestors of modern humans are informed by evidence from fossils, ancient artifacts, genomes of ancient and modern peoples, and the behavior of living nonhuman primates. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) play an especially important role in these efforts because they are the closest living relatives of modern humans.
