I'm an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics My mother supports Donald Trump. She has concerns but believes all politicians are corrupt. According to my mother, the key difference is that Trump doesn’t hide his corruption. My mother’s political disillusionment is not unique. As of 2023, only 4% of Americans believed the political system was working well. Americans’ trust that the government will “do what’s right” at least “most of the time” dropped by half between 2000 and 2008, continuing to decline to an all-time low of 17% in 2025. Advertisement As a scientist, I’m deeply concerned. Scientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place. Science relies on public support. For about 80 years, most fields of science enjoyed bipartisan support, allowing scientists to cling to an “apolitical” fantasy. But the scientific community can no longer afford to avoid politics when science is under attack. As a program officer at the National Institutes of Health, I witnessed this attack firsthand. When I saw clinical trials cut short with callous disregard for participant safety, court orders ignored to achieve political ends, and mission-critical colleagues fired based on false accusations of poor performance, I first spoke up...

The problem with Canada's plan to buy scientific prestige Canada’s universities are competing aggressively for funding attached to ‘unicorn’ faculty positions. These rare, prestigious posts are backed by Can$1 billion (US$734 million) in federal investment to attract 100 researchers working on global challenges over the next 12 years. The money is coming from centrally funded federal initiatives that present transformative opportunities. Such positions — named the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (CIRCs) — are touted as a long-term investment, but the majority are expected to be filled in the first year. University departments are therefore being pushed to identify, recruit and secure candidates at breakneck speed. As an ecologist (A.B.) and a mathematician (M.M.), both working at Canadian universities, we’re witness to this gold rush. The drive to attract leading international scientists is remarkable, and it seems to be particularly directed at researchers from the United States — many of whom, evidence suggests, are keen to leave because of drastic changes to science and health policies. In many ways, the gold rush is exciting, and, on the face of it, it makes a lot of economic sense. But we’re worried about what it means for universities and, especially, our early-career colleagues. Conversations we’ve had with staff in many academic departments...

OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks show how AI can accelerate scientific discovery OpenAI’s GPT can summarize research papers and make predictions—but can it do science? Can it generate hypotheses, design experiments, interpret results and iterate? Last summer researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks, a company that designs and installs autonomous, robot-run labs, decided to find out. Though artificial intelligence systems have posted high scores in math, physics and computer science, biology is harder to measure, says Joy Jiao, who leads life sciences research at OpenAI. “For something like ‘design the optimal experiment,’ there’s no right answer. It’s what we call a hard-hard problem: it’s hard to generate a solution, and it’s also really hard to verify.” That led the team to have AI design experiments using superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), an engineered jellyfish protein that is a common benchmark because it provides a fast, unambiguous signal: it glows green. While OpenAI’s GPT-5 provided the experimental designs, Ginkgo Bioworks provided what its co-founder and CEO Jason Kelly calls the “Waymo” of biology: an automated lab system where researchers set objective and the AI does the driving. The autonomous robotic lab can rapidly process experiments and operate without constant human oversight. On supporting science journalism If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our...

I write about subjects that are for a general (but exclusively #scientific) audience, which 1st started on my website before X/Twitter (& now all writing on X/Twitter copied onto this account too).

I use direct terms that stay to the point, so more of an intro level, with occasional advanced areas.
