A few years ago, I wrote that Open Access is an inevitability. And in many ways, the data supports that view—at least at a glance. Initial vs final Open Access percentage Gold Open Access—the model where authors (or their funders) pay article processing charges to make work freely available—has grown steadily over the past decade. But…

AI has finally broken into the mainstream over the past few years. But in the research ecosystem, what do we mean by AI and how is it already being used? We did what everyone has been doing and asked AI itself for some answers. Anyone would be forgiven for thinking that artificial intelligence (AI) had…

FemTech has emerged in recent years as a catch-all term to describe technology-driven innovation in women’s health. It is a rapidly growing sector in health technology, yet where research funding flows and what actually gets commercialized often don’t align. While fertility solutions dominate across research grants, patents, and clinical trials, areas like menopause, sexual health,…

At SXSW London, I had the pleasure of seeing DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis speak on the future of artificial intelligence. Among many thought-provoking points, two remarks stuck with me. First, he emphasised the importance of understanding the fundamentals. Second, he championed the scientific method as a guiding principle for making meaningful progress in AI.  DeepMind…
