A scientist’s day-to-day routine in the laboratory provides many opportunities for developing their scientific communication skills.

Writing for a non-scientific audience uses many of the same skills as writing for other scientists, but uses a bit more of an author’s personal flair.

Western blotting allows scientists to identify specific proteins in complex biological samples and determine relative abundance of a protein target.

All studies have imperfections, but how to present them without diminishing the value of the work can be tricky.

Oncolytic virotherapy selectively attacks tumors and triggers both immediate and long-lasting immune responses. 

Effective results sections need to be much more than a list of data points given without context. 

Júlia Crispim da Fontoura explains how researchers grow different types of 3D cell cultures.

DNA barcoding is a fast sequencing-based technique that scientists use to catalog all life on Earth or perform high throughput bioanalyses.

The Scientist is excited to announce the finalists of our inaugural science writing contest and to give readers a chance to vote for their favorite story.

A key protein that detects changes in plasma membrane curvature guides immune-like cells through environmental obstacles.

Neuroscientists studying prairie voles discovered that dopamine in the brain gushes when the animals are with their life partners and that loss of a partner erased this neurochemical signature.

The marmot social microbiome is unlike that of other mammals, adding a new perspective to wildlife conservation efforts.

The innate genetic program that controls migratory behavior in birds is shrouded in mystery, but scientists are closer to understanding how genetic variation influences their routes between Europe and Africa.

With its complete genome sequenced, one of the world’s largest microbes harbors unique energy processes that highlight its relation to its symbiotic host, the surgeonfish.
