Six months after announcing the $5 billion Project NextGen to develop treatments and vaccines that can “stay ahead of COVID-19,” the U.S. government has awarded 20 contracts that reveal what much of that sum will support. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on 13 October that up to $1.2 billion will go to three vaccine developers aiming to develop better shots, adding to another $1 billion already awarded to companies that will test them in yearlong, 10,000-person clinical trials. Another half-billion will support development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that can block SARS-CoV-2 infection.

As Israel-Hamas conflict rages on, the tremors of this intense warfare have sent shockwaves reverberating through the scientific community, not just in the region but around the world.
In Israel, universities are mourning the loss of scientists and scholars who fell victim to a surprise attack by Hamas militants on October 7. Hamas, widely recognized as a terrorist organization, governs the Gaza Strip. The once-bustling academic laboratories are now empty as foreign graduate students return to their home countries, and young academics report for military service. Although some scientific research persists, as noted by Asher Cohen, the President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), it's an uphill struggle to maintain full research facilities.

In the realm of scholarly research, the absence of purpose-built databases for the evaluation and measurement of research has led to a significant disconnect in the academic world. This manifesto outlines the critical need for the creation of a new scientific instrument designed to accurately measure, discover, and provide access to global research, freely and comprehensively.

Open research publishing platforms could be an important mechanism for reform.
New research from the University of Bristol has found academic researchers are demoralised by a culture that disincentivises sharing and collaboration, encourages questionable research practices (QRPs), and increases the risk of bias.

Scientists have created a neural network with the human-like ability to make generalizations about language. The artificial intelligence (AI) system performs about as well as humans at folding newly learned words into an existing vocabulary and using them in fresh contexts, which is a key aspect of human cognition known as systematic generalization.
