Along many coasts, sinking ground is amplifying the impact of rising seas. But satellite radar, a popular tool for identifying fast-sinking, vulnerable shorelines, may be leading scientists astray, according to a comparison of two influential studies of subsidence along the U.S. Gulf Coast. scim.ag/4g0sKpU
Hundreds of scientists who study cancer and aging have made an easily avoidable but significant mistake, deploying the wrong antibody to test for a key protein, according to a researcher who exposes errors in the biomedical literature. Instead of antibodies that recognize p16INK4a, a tumor suppressing protein that may also promote aging, these researchers used antibodies that tag the similarly named protein p16-ARC, which helps shape the cell’s molecular skeleton.

A proposal by the Canadian government to streamline the review process for major infrastructure projects has been labeled “deeply troubling” by scientists, who are concerned it will weaken environmental protections and jeopardize endangered species. scim.ag/4as9cHt
China has gained an unexpected ally in its struggle with rampant scientific misconduct: an independent video blogger who shines a light on problematic papers for millions of followers. scim.ag/4xskplp
The U.S. National Science Foundation is tightening conflict-of-interest restrictions for its staff and peer reviewers in a move many researchers worry will further complicate workloads at the agency, which has lost roughly one-third of its workforce over the past 18 months. scim.ag/4xmAicM
For one of the biggest and most ferocious predators to ever live, Tyrannosaurus rex sure had puny arms, not much longer than our own. Several other members of its lineage—the diverse group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods—had similarly wimpy appendages, and new analyses of the beasts now suggest why.

Citing concerns that artificial intelligence will make it easier for anyone to build biological weapons, the leaders of several major #AI companies—in a rare moment of unity—have penned a new letter urging U.S. lawmakers to impose tighter controls on firms that sell synthetic, made-to-order strands of DNA. scim.ag/3PIysST
The National Institutes of Health has escaped budget cuts in a spending bill introduced in the House of Representatives. scim.ag/3Q1vEAk
The top Democrats on a Republican-led congressional committee that historically opposes most U.S. interactions with China are slamming President Donald Trump for firing all the members of the board that oversees the National Science Foundation. scim.ag/4ujsztp
Picture reaching for something on a high shelf and coming up short. You don’t give up; instead, you find a stool, carry it over, and climb up. Buried in that action is something remarkable: You held the goal in your mind, identified what you needed, and executed a plan. No training required. A study suggests bumble bees can do the same—the first demonstration of this kind of goal-directed problem-solving in an insect. Learn more: scim.ag/4o7cky1
On 4 June, The New York Times posted an online story with a dramatic headline: “In a First, Scientists Precisely Edit Human Embryo Genes.” Others quickly echoed the claim, reigniting a simmering debate over whether it’s safe, ethical, and worthwhile to create gene-edited babies. But the reality of the reported advance, an effort to improve the use in embryos of an approach called base editing, is more subtle than many stories suggested. (The New York Times changed its online headline by the next day to eliminate the “first” claim.) Even the stem cell scientist who led the new work acknowledges the tool still has major limitations and says it shouldn’t yet be used to make a baby. “I think it [our findings] will shift the conversation but it won’t change the landscape of use anytime soon,” he says. Science delves behind the headlines to look closer at his group’s research, posted as a preprint on 1 June: scim.ag/4urOwGR
Several diabetes researchers were brusquely escorted out of a major scientific conference organized by the American Diabetes Association for distributing paper copies of an editorial criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration. scim.ag/3QrzwL4
The National Institutes of Health has returned to the idea that limiting lab size makes better use of grant dollars. scim.ag/4omL5jq
One of the world’s leading suppliers of monkeys and other animals for biomedical research has declared bankruptcy. scim.ag/4fA1BtP
Novelty is often called a key ingredient for high-quality research, but it is notoriously thorny to define or measure. A new tool that puts numbers to how novel a paper is could help—and might be used to more efficiently evaluate the growing flood of scientific manuscripts. scim.ag/4up8bXR

Amid a flood of #AI advances, astrophysicists are questioning the soul of their field. scim.ag/4oevGl8
In December 2025, NASA's MAVEN went unexpectedly quiet, as it began tumbling in orbit around Mars. Yesterday, after many attempts at raising the spacecraft, NASA announced that the mission is officially over. In January, Science highlighted what MAVEN learned about the Red Planet's atmosphere. ⬇️ scim.ag/4rpgLoD
Physicists hope this back-to-basics approach could point toward alternative paths to “theory of everything.” scim.ag/4o7K2U1
