Careers

The scientific community struggles to define the duties of collaborators in assuring the integrity of published research.

Several initiatives aim to improve research integrity in the country, but recent high-profile cases of misconduct highlight a lingering problem.

Researchers and institutions seek to bridge the gap between emerging life science professionals and available positions.

How researchers are taking advantage of Twitter and other forums to do, share, and discuss research

With few resources and hesitant investors, basic scientists must rely on clinicians, patient advocates, and their own keen eye for biological connections.

In today’s data-heavy research environment, wet-lab scientists can benefit from new computational skills.

Agencies and institutions strive to better prepare graduate students and postdocs for futures in academia and beyond.

In a shifting media landscape with a growing public interest in science, some researchers are doing their own PR.

What to do when you realize your publication is fatally flawed

Researchers with disabilities are making their fields more accessible.

Retiring as a professor, and even shutting down your own lab, doesn’t necessarily mean quitting research.

In times of budget belt-tightening at the federal level, life-science researchers can keep their work supported through private sources.
