'Mr. Towne also worked for years on the script for “Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.” But he was so disappointed with the finished film, directed by Hugh Hudson and released in 1984, that he insisted on replacing his name in the credits with “P.H. Vazak,” shorthand for the name of his beloved Hungarian sheepdog, Pannonia’s Hira Vazak. His “Greystoke” screenplay was nevertheless nominated for an Oscar.'

'Dr. Jordan was in many ways an old-school researcher. He insisted that a drug should be investigated for all its potential applications, not just the ones that might make money or be the quickest to market. And he believed that scientists should be transparent about side effects, even if it meant reducing a drug’s appeal. He called his work “conversations with nature.”

'Here, we show that the conclusions of a microbiome research study are greatly dependent on the time of sample collection, and that experimental and control groups undergo a cycle of diverging and converging microbiome composition depending on the nature and timing of experimental interventions.'

'Without judges having access to rigorous evidence relating to issues such as clean water and the application of artificial intelligence, the AAAS’s Joanne Carney told me, “We risk the safety and health of the public in certain cases.”

'Many Americans began to feel what we, in other parts of the world, had felt when we read Nineteen Eighty-Four for the first time—that it was not some farfetched dystopia set in a remote place and time. It was already here. It was already happening.'

'Some now seek to scare leftwing and centre-left voters by claiming that the NFP’s programme for government would be dangerous for the French economy. They are wrong. We are not claiming that this manifesto is perfect – how could it be given that Macron only allowed three weeks to organise for elections? But in historical context, it should be considered a pragmatic, social democratic set of proposals aimed at reducing inequalities and preparing for the future. There is nothing radical in this agenda.'

"But whilst it will have its benefits, the process of datafication also raises important methodological and ethical questions. Who has access to the data that is collected and why? How do the new data flows change everyday research practice? Are scientists being subjected to “dataveillance”, and if so, what does this mean for their privacy? To ensure that the scientific community embarks on a critically informed journey towards a datafied research ecosystem, these questions need to be addressed."

'In our opinion, focus should shift toward supporting and enhancing the oversight framework for high-complexity clinical laboratory-developed testing procedures. This can be achieved through a reform of the CLIA, collaborating with other regulatory entities such as CAP, and working closely with state agencies like NYSDOH. This collaborative effort aims to harmonize clinical laboratory testing, ensuring a robust, cost-effective, streamlined, and flexible regulatory ecosystem.'
