Strategies to improve public trust in biomedical research are being hindered by a scientific mindset that stifles interest in reform.

There is a clear need to encourage exploratory research within the framework of open science.

Digital reconstruction of environment combined with eye and head-tracking enabled the process of prey-detection and capture to be seen from the freely moving mouse’s point-of-view and shows the exact visual-field and retinal location mice use when chasing prey and the advantage.

Eurasian jays fail to take into account the point of view and desire of other jays when hiding food they can eat later.

Authors should be open about the limitations of their work and not overstate its importance.

Universities must change so that the scientific enterprise can respond to the climate crisis.

Science is an essential component of policy-making in most areas of government, but the scientific community does not always understand its role in this process.

Analysis of experiments on bacteria suggests that the dependence of cell size on growth rate is not an adaptation but a causal consequence of a regulatory mechanism that controls DNA replication.

Many authors start with the figures when writing a paper, but it is easier to tell a good story if you start with the Introduction and Results, and leave the figures to later.

A more balanced distribution of NIH grant funding among investigators would strengthen the diversity of the research enterprise, increase the likelihood of scientific breakthroughs, and lead to a greater return on taxpayers' investments.
