In recent years, there has been growing concern about waning interest in science, as despite advances in research and technology, fewer young people seem to be pursuing careers in these fields1. This decline can be attributed to various factors, including a lack of early engagement, inadequate integration of practical experience and insufficient alignment between educational…

Abstract Recent years have seen an increased research interest in the determinants of public trust in science. While some argue that democracy should be the political regime most conducive to science, recent debates about salient scientific findings revealed considerable cracks in the public perception of science. We argue that existing cross-national work on trust in…

A recent study proposes a strategy for the prediction of genetic perturbation outcomes by breaking it down into three subtasks: identifying differentially expressed genes, determining expression change directions, and estimating gene expression magnitudes.
