Basic sciences remain a cornerstone of medical education, but the terms of the debate about their importance have changed. The central risk is no longer their formal exclusion from medical curricula but their curricular invisibility: the gradual dilution of mechanistic reasoning within integrated, technology-mediated…

The American scientific community is reeling from funding cuts and policy directives that will debilitate scientific research and education. The underlying hostilities fueling these attacks have intensified in recent years as the COVID-19 pandemic increased suspicion of scientific experts and the institutional embrace…

Research using model organisms to tackle questions in life sciences and biomedical sciences has been in the spotlight of scientific literature for the better part of the twentieth century. This attention has perceptibly faded over the last twenty years, at least. We set to document this process by examining the…

For decades, molecular visualization software has been fundamental to education and research in chemistry, structural biology, and materials science. These tools have enabled the inspection of structures, dynamics, and interactions, yet their reliance on two-dimensional (2D) interfaces imposes persistent limitations.…

Background A strong foundation in basic medical sciences is essential for dental education, yet their integration with clinical training remains debated. Traditional curricula often front-load biomedical content in the early years, separated from clinical practice, which may affect student motivation and perceptions of…

When a biomedical or basic science doctoral (PhD) student considers whether or not to become a Principal Investigator (PI), they typically base their decisions on anecdotal data from a limited number of faculty mentors. Alternatively, they may look online for guidance and be met with biased opinions rather than…

The four main anatomical sciences, gross anatomy, histology, neuroanatomy, and embryology, are fundamental subjects for most health professionals and biomedical students. Usually taught as part of preclinical basic science training, the anatomical sciences provide a structural understanding of human or animal bodies at…

Experimental activities are an essential part of physics education. In addition to conveying scientific knowledge, they play a significant role in developing scientific literacy, inquiry skills, and critical thinking. In today's world, where students are exposed to vast amounts of information of varying quality, the…

Chemistry curricula often separate “wet” experimental work from “dry” computation, yet modern discovery increasingly demands both. This Perspective offers an instructor-ready roadmap to train “hybrid chemists” within existing courses. We distill recent advances in machine learning, automation, and real-time analytics…

The traditional paradigm of natural science treats the laws of nature as eternal and immutable. This review examines a powerful alternative tradition that views these laws as historically evolving and constructed entities, tracing this shift from ancient roots to evolutionary epistemology, radical constructivism and…

Scientific research drives national progress and innovation, and must be protected at all costs. Actions from the Trump administration in early 2025 sent shockwaves across academic research. Federal science budgets were slashed, hundreds of research grants were abruptly frozen or terminated, and politically appointed…

Preschool teachers’ ability and willingness to adopt scientific practice teaching are affected by internal and external factors. A question therefore arises: Do organizational incentives, as an external environmental factor (extrinsic motivation), strengthen or weaken the effect of science beliefs (internal factor) on…

The increasing importance and predictive power of modern molecular modeling, driven by physics- and machine learning-based methods, necessitates a new collaborative architecture to replace the isolated, traditional model of software development. The traditional approach often led to redundant engineering effort, high…

DNA damage-induced selection is the underlying cause of ageing. Faster metabolising cells naturally spread unless prevented by a deliberate process designed to prevent hyperfunctional diseases like cancer and fibrosis. As a result, slow metabolising mutants reduce the metabolic rate of faster neighbours epigenetically…

Despite the promise of self-driving laboratories to accelerate discovery, their widespread implementation is hindered by prohibitive cost and technical complexity. We introduce BrickSDLab, a fully functional self-driving lab platform built entirely from LEGO® components, designed to bridge this accessibility gap.…

Understanding structural similarities across dynamical systems at different scales remains a central problem in nonlinear science [1, 3]. Here we propose a modeling framework for cross-scale morphogenetic dynamics, termed Generalized Morphogenesis Theory (GMT), based on a flow-inertia formulation: where S denotes…

Conservation chemistry is an emerging discipline focused on preventing the loss of biodiversity through molecular-level insight and intervention. As the planet enters a mass extinction event – driven by pollution, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, overharvesting, and disease – chemical sciences offer…
