New work indicates that some of the independent origins of prickles share a common genetic basis, providing a gene editing target to facilitate the removal of these sharp projections in cultivated plants. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science: https://scim.ag/7SL

The world's leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research.
About us
Founded in 1880 on $10,000 of seed money from the American inventor Thomas Edison, Science has grown to become the world's leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research, with the largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed general-science journal. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. In content, too, the journal is truly international in scope; some 35 to 40 percent of the corresponding authors on its papers are based outside the United States. Its articles consistently rank among world's most cited research.

“Having started my career as a 'reluctant' chemist, I am yet to proclaim my love for what I do. But I try to see the relevant problems and solve them for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than my peers, and no less deserving of a space in science and academia.” Shalini Gupta never thought she’d be an academic scientist. In this week's Working Life, read her story about why she's glad she followed her gut: https://scim.ag/7UY

An in-depth feature from Jeffrey Brainard at News from Science Magazine explores the tradeoffs researchers make to pay APC fees to publish #OpenAccess (OA). "If you end up paying [APCs], then you’re losing funds for other things," says Alicia Kowaltowski, USP - Universidade de São Paulo. " (This issue is one AAAS previously explored in a survey of US researchers: https://lnkd.in/ejdMTCz5.) "...if APCs are unaffordable, " said Kowaltowski, "the work of many scientists becomes “nonexistent.”" The News from Science article also discusses new approaches publishers are taking, and reformers are proposing, to move beyond the author-pays model for OA. At present, however, the jury seems out on which of these is most promising. An alternative -- one the Science family has pursued for 20+ years -- is “green” open access, where authors deposit an accepted paper in a public repository and don’t pay the publisher a fee. (The Science family uses this model for five of its six journal publications.) ++++ The issue of how to balance author ability to publish -- no matter their funding situation -- with public access to read is a matter AAAS continues to consider, including by listening across the global research community. @AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh has previously stated, “We should have a goal to optimize scientific communication in a situationally appropriate manner for every audience,” Parikh says. For scientists, that means ensuring that data is available for the purposes of reproducing or extending analyses. For non-scientists, however, simply sharing a published paper may not have an impact. Instead, situationally appropriate communication about a scientific discovery may not just cultivate an interest in scientific advancement – but it may also spur a willingness to pay taxes to fund that science, Parikh has noted. AAAS continues to emphasize the importance of ensuring that scientists – early-career scientists, in particular – stay central to public access efforts and developing policies. https://lnkd.in/e6VH6wp2 #openaccess

The early evolution of mollusks has been hard to pin down, but now a newly discovered fossil—of a shell-less, soft-bodied, spiny mollusk from the early Cambrian—provides crucial insights, researchers report in Science. The findings suggest that this fossil, of a creature called Shishania aculeata, is a stem mollusk—representative of an intermediate between early members of the superphylum lophotrochozoans and more derived mollusks.

It's terrible that it's so easy to fake citations that even a cat can get a double-digit h-index. But what can be done?
