Late retirement, early careers, and the aging of U.S. science and engineering...
Studies of rescuing early-career scientists often take narrow approaches and focus on PhD students or postdoc populations. In a multi-method systems approach, we examine the... -
The Importance of Role Models in Research.
I have been extremely fortunate to have a number of exceptional role models during my research career. By emulating these individuals, I gained the skills and the knowledge that... -
On the impact of Citizen Science-derived data quality on deep learning based ...
The evaluation of large amounts of digital image data is of growing importance for biology, including for the exploration and monitoring of marine habitats. However, only a tiny... -
Large-scale investigation of the reasons why potentially important genes are ...
: In this Formal Comment, the authors of the recent publication "Large-scale investigation of the reasons why potentially important genes are ignored" maintain that it can be... -
Digit ratio (2D:4D) and academic success as measured by achievement in the ac...
Introduction Prenatal androgen exposure has important organizing effects on brain development and therefore on future behavior. Previous research has shown, that the ratio... -
OdoBD: An online database for the dragonflies and damselflies of Bangladesh
Combining scientific data over a long-time period is necessary for generating large-scale datasets, which are an essential component of comparative analysis for understanding... -
Ten simple rules for scientists: Improving your writing productivity
… As a scientist, you are a professional writer. Writing is as important a tool in your toolbox as molecular biology, chemical analysis, statistics, or other purely “scientific”... -
Assessing the impact of introductory programming workshops on the computation...
AbstractIntroductionAs biomedical research becomes more data-intensive, computational reproducibility is a growing area of importance. Unfortunately, many biomedical researchers... -
Automatic jargon identifier for scientists engaging with the public and scien...
Scientists are required to communicate science and research not only to other experts in the field, but also to scientists and experts from other fields, as well as to the... -
All science should inform policy and regulation
In the context of a recent proposal to exclude research from consideration at the Environmental Protection Agency, John Ioannidis points out that "perceived perfection is not a... -

There is an increasing imperative for psychologists and other behavioral scientists to understand how people behave on social media. However, it is often very difficult to... -
Strength in numbers: collaborative science for new experimental model systems
Our current understanding of biology is heavily based on a small number of genetically tractable model organisms. Most eukaryotic phyla lack such experimental models, and this... -
Multifractal evidence of nonlinear interactions stabilizing posture for phasm...
: The present work is a reanalysis of prior work documenting postural sway in phasmids (i.e., "stick insects") [1]. The prior work pursued the possibility that postural sway was... -
Predicting the replicability of social science lab experiments
We measure how accurately replication of experimental results can be predicted by black-box statistical models. With data from four large-scale replication projects in...
