Economy, science and the wider world
Discoveries matter, and so does the way they are made. This section combines science news on space, health and materials research with a close look at how trustworthy published studies really are.
Space stories follow changes in how NASA points the Hubble Space Telescope after a pause in observations. Research coverage includes the growing weight of China’s top science institute, progress in understanding menstruation, the science of shyness and a hands-on materials exhibit by Rice University at a Houston fan festival.
A recurring theme is scientific integrity: a retracted climate paper, the rise of fraudulent studies and the controversy around Elon Musk’s statements on science. Students and job seekers will also find a piece on data science skills. Start with the integrity articles; they give useful tools for reading every other headline critically.
