Misconduct’s forgotten victims

Mar 14, 2024 | science.org | Ian A. Hatton |Tiffany C. Vance |Sarah Moraïs

The drumbeat of complaints over the poor treatment of graduate students and postdocs in academic science continues. As explained on this page, there is a seemingly endless “slow-motion crisis” of strikes, failures at collective bargaining, and damaging news stories about the mistreatment of and poor working conditions for graduate students. Meanwhile, a parade of stories about academic fraud and failures to address research integrity undermine public trust in science.

Is Arctic melt driving European heat waves?

Mar 14, 2024 | science.org | Ian A. Hatton |Tiffany C. Vance |Sarah Moraïs |Eli Kintisch

Global warming disrupts weather in many ways, but Europe’s string of record-breaking hot and dry summers has defied an easy link to climate change. Climate models do show Europe warming faster than the rest of the planet, but the recent scorchers were triggered by peculiar weather conditions: masses of hot, dry air parked over the continent, blocking any incursions of cool or moist relief. A new study suggests global warming could be responsible after all.

Autonomous Robots Snaking around extreme icy worldsAmos MatsikoSnake-like autonomous robots may be useful for future exploration of icy planets and moons. Open in viewerThere is growing interest in the exploration of icy moons such as Enceladus because of the potential for these worlds to have liquid water that could support Earth-like life. However, obtaining samples is challenging because of environmental extremities on the surface or within ice vents. Vaquero et al.
