We now have a web page listing several important metrics for scientific journals ([www.sciencemag.org/journal-metrics][1]). This information will be updated at the end of each year with new data. One set of metrics is the numbers of research paper submissions and the rates at which they are…

Mashup Score: 1A genome to celebrate - 3 year(s) ago
This week, Science celebrates the impending 20th anniversary of the publication of the draft human genome sequence—a landmark achievement by any measure. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, the publisher of Science ) also looks forward to next week’s annual meeting, whose theme is “Understanding Dynamic Ecosystems.” At first glance, these two events may seem unrelated….

Mashup Score: 7Science, civics, and democracy - 3 year(s) ago
Will the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris—a transition made “orderly” with barbed wire, National Guard soldiers, and the closure of downtown Washington, D.C.—be remembered as an inflection point? After 4 years of boorish incivility, incendiary nativist extremism, a crippling pandemic, resurgent racism, and riotous mobs incited to attack the Capitol, can the…

Mashup Score: 6Going beyond eloquent words - 3 year(s) ago
As the United States steadies itself, recovering from COVID-19 and preparing for future crises, it must draw upon what Eric Lander, the nominee for director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called “America’s greatest asset…our unrivaled diversity.” To achieve this goal, OSTP must have the resources and authority to go beyond eloquent words and deliver solid accomplishments…

Mashup Score: 9Target student mental well-being - 3 year(s) ago

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic and its social and economic consequences are accelerating these trends. Furthermore,…

Mashup Score: 7Stem cells on the ballot - 3 year(s) ago
California’s ballot measures often reveal much about the broader U.S. policy environment. This is particularly true of the approval by the state’s voters in November of Proposition 14, The California Stem Cell Research, Treatments, and Cures Initiative of 2020. Proposition 14 extends the 2004 ballot Proposition 71, which established the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and…
