Science Advances is an open-access multidisciplinary journal, publishing impactful research papers and reviews in any area of science.
- Scientists discovered two #snake specimens preserved in Late Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, including what they say is the oldest known baby fossilized snake. These samples suggest snakes were more ecologically diverse than previously thought bit.ly/2NYJLBI
- New research proposes that groups of birds with early origins associated with the end-Cretaceous mass extinction experienced rapid evolutionary changes across their genomes and physiology. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances: scim.ag/7RP
- Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, according to a new analysis. scim.ag/4wF
- Scientists have fabricated a deformable, hydrogel-based sensor directly onto a continuously inflating and deflating pig lung, demonstrating a new 3D printing method that estimates surface motion in real time. fcld.ly/hjilwll
00:00 - This week, a special issue on #WomensHealth highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences. Learn more: scim.ag/41pQviq
- Scientists propose the Human Proteoform Project—an initiative to describe a complete set of protein forms expressed from the ~20,000 genes encoded in the human genome—as a critical next step in disease research. Read more on #NationalProteinDay: scim.ag/3EYUx9Z
- In the latest issue: A closer look at the retention rate of LGBQ college students in STEM degrees, new insights into the dwarf planet Ceres' evolution, the discovery of a new subauroral structure, and more bit.ly/2fhqPMJ
- Using mRNA, researchers have developed a promising approach for the intracellular delivery of genes in the eye, which may have the potential to prevent vision loss for inherited retinal diseases. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances: scim.ag/181
- A new #genetics study suggests a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and RNA editing in schizophrenia. scim.ag/2au
- Scientists propose the Human Proteoform Project—an initiative to describe a complete set of protein forms expressed from the approximately 20,000 genes encoded in the human genome—as a critical next step in disease research. fcld.ly/8820eps
- A new modeling study suggests #ClimateChange may have already doubled the likelihood of catastrophic flooding in California, and future warming will likely result in even greater increases in #flood risk. fcld.ly/cbw28hc
- New research on ants has produced a treasure map for finding hidden biodiversity among other small-range species. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances: fcld.ly/bq412s1
