"The enormous variability among autistic people is perhaps the biggest challenge for scientists looking for causes. It is probably the result of combinations of genetic and environmental factors interacting in convoluted ways." 🧪

Not an uncommon problem with many diseases.

Autism is on the rise: what’s really behind the increase?

RFK Jr has vowed to find out what’s responsible, but scientists say he is ignoring answers from decades of research.

Federal funding for US science research has been disrupted dramatically in 2025. Other countries are enticing US students and scientists to move abroad, leaving the overall impact on chemistry and science uncertain. cen.acs.org/careers/US-s... #chemsky 🧪

US science research was gutted in 2025. How will it rebuild?

New strategies as diverse as venture capitalism and investments from abroad are emerging to sustain the field

Fraudulent scientific papers are booming

A subset of journal editors may be partly responsible

Me preguntan por la financiación de distintas áreas. Son muchas...
Aquí pongo de ejemplo una humanidades (Historia), una de ciencias "básicas" (Química) y una de biomedicina (Cáncer). La financiación media varía mucho, claro, pero el raquitismo relativo se mantiene... 😕
