The Russian invasion of Ukraine, ongoing for nearly two years, has not only caused visible destruction to buildings but has also taken a toll on the country's buried archaeological sites. Ukrainian and U.S. archaeologists are now conducting surveys to assess the damage inflicted on the nation's archaeological heritage, much of which remains underground and unexplored. This interview with Pavlo Shydlovskyi, an archaeologist at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and Ian Kuijt from the University of Notre Dame, sheds light on their efforts to document and prevent further destruction.

In a groundbreaking development, researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) have unveiled a sophisticated search algorithm capable of identifying 188 previously unknown rare CRISPR systems in bacterial genomes. Published in Science, the study showcases the algorithm's efficiency in navigating vast genomic datasets.

In a groundbreaking development, a collaborative research team led by experts from KAIST and UCSD has introduced DeepECtransformer, an artificial intelligence designed to predict enzyme functions from protein sequences. The team successfully deployed the AI to uncover 464 types of enzymes from previously uncharted proteins within E. coli, demonstrating its potential in enzyme discovery.

Public attention to the use of animals in research is on the rise, and with good reason. As scientists, we have a responsibility to avoid using animals in our work whenever possible. Not only does this prevent needless suffering and waste of resources, it also leads to better science, because findings from animal experiments often fail to hold up in humans. If studies can be conducted ethically with human subjects, tissues, or organs, they should not use animals. 

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools, such as ChatGPT and Bard, has significantly impacted assessment practices in higher education institutions (HEIs) globally. This shift has raised concerns related to academic integrity, cheating, and plagiarism, prompting HEIs to swiftly develop guidelines to address GAI's influence on education. As these guidelines play a crucial role for both instructors and students, it becomes imperative to examine their content, coverage, and suitability.

The process of preparing and publishing monographs, textbooks, and manuals can be intricate and time-consuming. A reliable publisher is crucial to efficiently navigate the complexities of publishing, ensuring a seamless and timely release. Opting for publishers with Scopus-indexed monographs enhances the chance of Scopus indexation, elevating your academic profile and h-index. Your scholarly works deserve to be showcased, not gathering dust, and there's a potential for passive income through commercial platforms.

In today's rapidly evolving world, intellectual property has become an invaluable asset, especially when it comes to copyrights. The often-overlooked issue of consolidating copyright overseas is a critical concern, as these assets can be a legacy passed down to future generations. Unfortunately, Ukrainian society tends to underemphasize the importance of addressing this matter.
