The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has just dropped its long-awaited AI Opportunities Action Plan, a 50-page vision of how the UK government plans to guide us into an AI-powered future.
More and more funders are recognizing the vital role of software in research. How can you leverage your software skills to aquire funding?

Something a little different for this week’s recap. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the practice of data science education in this era of widely available (and really good!) LLMs for code. Commentary at the top based on my own data science teaching experience, with a deep dive into a few recent papers below.

Bibliographic databases should support innovation and experimentation. Here, we offer four criteria for innovation-friendly bibliographic databases. We urge the global research community to use databases that support and do not hinder innovation in scholarly communication and research assessment.
Continuing our discussion of galaxy formation and evolution in the age of JWST, we saw previously that there appears to be a population of galaxies that grew rapidly in the early universe, attaining stellar masses like those expected in a traditional monolithic model for a giant elliptical galaxy rather than a conventional hierarchical model that builds up gradually through many mergers.
Powerful predators, giant centipedes inhabit diverse environments worldwide, from deserts to rainforests, thriving in damp, dark places near their prey.
A Revolution Beneath the Surface In the quiet corners of fermenters and bioreactors, a revolution unfolds. It doesn’t grab headlines like rocket launches or AI breakthroughs, but its implications may ripple just as far. Biomanufacturing—the use of biological systems to produce materials, medicines, and energy—is reshaping how we live, how we work, and how we sustain ourselves.
Tourists and travelers often look for unexplored and untouched destinations. It’s the thrill of experiencing something truly unique that drives us to these places. The unspoilt country, which I recently had the pleasure of visiting, is one such hidden gem. Imagine waking up to the astounding beauty of raw nature, with the unexpected surprise of having a gentle giant, an elephant, knocking on your doorstep.
The INFORMATE Project has combined three data sources to explore how the global research infrastructure might help the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies identify and characterize the impact of their support. The data sources are the NSF Award Database, the NSF Public Access Repository (PAR), and the global research infrastructure as viewed through CHORUS.
