Want to close the gender gap in research? Start with the data.

Our Springer Nature report: Closing the Gender Gap highlights where change is needed most — and how you can be part of it. Read the report: spklr.io/63324ByG4y
Against a red backdrop, geometric shapes accent the title, "Closing the Gender Gap," with the subtitle, "Peer Review at Nature Portfolio". The shapes include circles and rectangles of white, blue, green, and brown.

It is time to recognize research software as a valuable scientific contribution in itself, beyond a tool — and to support it

Stop treating code like an afterthought: record, share and value it
Scientists, research institutions, funders, libraries and publishers must all improve software practices.

For an AI scientist to claim its own discovery, the research would need to be performed “fully or highly autonomously”, according to the Nobel Turing Challenge.
www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Will AI ever win its own Nobel? Some predict a prize-worthy science discovery soon
Other researchers question whether autonomous AI scientists are possible or even desirable.

“effective oversight must utilize scientific knowledge to distinguish between low-risk and actual, demonstrable threats so that we do not impede progress against deadly diseases for no real safety benefit” www.statnews.com/2025/10/06/g...
The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all
Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

Many researchers conclude that AI holds great promise in materials science, but that more collaboration with experimental chemists—and some humility about the current limitations of these systems—will be crucial for realizing their full potential.

AI is dreaming up millions of new materials. Are they any good?
Critics slammed attempts by Google, Microsoft and Meta to speed up materials discovery. But behind the hype, there is progress.
