Science is built on integrity and trustworthiness so when a flood of low-quality or fraudulent papers enter the system unchecked, trust in science is damaged. Bernhard A Sabel at the Otto-von-Guericke-University of Magdeburg, Germany and Dan Larhammar at Uppsala University, Sweden present the ‘Stockholm Declaration’ for the ‘Reformation of Science Publishing’ published in Royal Society Open Science.

A new Royal Society Open Science study investigates causal illusions and their association with pseudoscience, stereotypes, and unjustified beliefs. This is the first research showing the efficacy and long-term effects of a debiasing intervention against causal illusions that can be used on a large scale through the educational system. We spoke to Dr. Helena Matute to find out more about the work.

When asked to name scientists, students mention the likes of Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, and Isaac Newton. And when asked to draw a scientist, students almost always draw a white man holding a test tube and wearing a lab coat. Professor Robin Costello from the University at Buffalo tells us more about a new study that parsed the effects of including visual depictions and humanizing information about scientists featured in undergraduate biology course materials.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals have developed a new way to combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an advanced electrical mapping technique that could improve treatment for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common abnormal heart rhythm condition. By merging detailed MRI with charge density mapping, which shows how electrical signals move through the heart during AF, doctors may be better able to identify exactly where to target treatment.
