RNA sequencing is a powerful technology for studying cells and diseases. Scientists from the research group of Christoph Bock, principal investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and professor at the Medical University of Vienna, developed a new method for sequencing huge numbers of single cells in an efficient manner. The study has now been published in Nature Methods.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. M. Stanley Whittingham, a 2019 Nobel Laureate and distinguished professor at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society.
The Royal Society, founded in 1660, is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. It is a fellowship of many of the world s most eminent scientists and the United Kingdom s national academy of sciences.
This year, the organization elected over 60 outstanding scientists from all over the globe as Fellows and Foreign Members, including 52 Fellows, 10 Foreign Members and one Honorary Fellow who were all selected for their exceptional contributions to science. These new Fellows and Foreign Members join the ranks of Michael Faraday, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Doro

The German chemist discovered one element and may have been the first to suggest nuclear fission – but her legacy is troubled, as Rachel Brazil discovers
‘We want a heroine or a martyr’ when we read about forgotten women scientists, says Brigitte van Tiggelen, the Science History Institute’s director of European operations. Ida Noddack does not fit that description. Her legacy is complicated by her work for the academic regime set up by the Nazi government in 1930s Germany, which likely clouded post-war judgement of her work. But even before the war, Noddack’s insights were ignored and diminished by scientific contemporaries. As well as discovering the element rhenium, one of the last of the naturally occurring elements to be discovered, she suggested that bombardment of heavy nuclei could lead to their breakup, four years before the idea of nuclear fission was widely accepted. But disputed claims to have discovered the element te
