Planning for Framework Programme 10 is underway. Europe will need to be ambitious in the scale of it’s investment, broaden opportunities for industry and societal involvement in research, and importantly support the commercialization of successful research outcomes. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A science mega-programme is taking shape in the EU: what it means for researchers
A new research commissioner will help to build the European Union’s next massive science scheme — with a renewed focus on innovation.

Having an opportunity to teach and demonstrate is a fundamentally important part of the career development and education for a postgraduate researcher. I find it difficult to understand why these opportunities are so difficult for universities to provide

Interesting article. Hydrogel ‘droplectronics’ as an interface between electronic devices and human cells and tissue, allowing controlled electrical stimulation, biosensing, even chemical release to change cell function. Lots of exciting medical device possibilities!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

LLM will likely become a useful tool to recognize and accurately diagnose/classify tumors from image data. Makes me wonder about the potential of using retrospective data to learn’ how to recognize tumors at a very early stage such as from endoscopy data.

Fascinating. One end goal will be the development of an accurate digital twin of the human body. One that takes into consideration factors such as gender, age, and disease status. It will be transformative for developing advanced therapies and understanding the complexities of disease.
