"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury."
In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. scim.ag/3F60VMt #InternationalWomensDay

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

There have been at least 20 mass resignations from scientific journals since 2023. What’s going on?
Why Editors At Scientific Journals Are Resigning En Masse
Publishers want to put out more papers with less editorial staff, all while charging scientists more to publish. Editors have had enough.

A private lunar lander has touched down near the moon's south pole, but its condition remains uncertain. The lander, carrying NASA experiments, is part of a commercial lunar delivery program.
Private lunar lander touches down on the moon, but its status is unknown
A privately owned lunar lander touched down on the moon Thursday, but as the minutes dragged on, flight controllers could not confirm its condition or whether it was even upright near the south pole.

Hubble image of Jupiter’s auroras. Just like the northern lights on Earth, these auroras are formed when high-energy particles, directed by Jupiter’s magnetic field, collide with the atmosphere around the poles.

A new approach in stroke imaging analysis combines effective connectivity models with interpretable AI, enhancing diagnosis accuracy and transparency, potentially transforming clinical workflows. doi.org/g86s8f
Advancing stroke imaging analysis with interpretable AI and effective connectivity models
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, making early diagnosis and intervention critical. In a recent study published in IEEE Access, our team introduced a groundbreaking end-to-end approach to stroke imaging analysis, combining effective connectivity modeling with interpretable artificial intelligence (AI).

Obstructive sleep apnea may increase Parkinson's disease risk, but early CPAP treatment could mitigate this risk, according to recent findings presented at a neurology conference.
Sleep apnea linked to increased risk of Parkinson's: Study suggests CPAP may reduce risk
People with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, but if started early enough, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce that risk, according to a preliminary study presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 77th Annual Meeting taking place April 5–9, 2025, in San Diego and online.
