Sanofi has signed a deal to use UK start-up Exscientia's artificial-intelligence (AI) platform to hunt for metabolic-disease therapies, and Roche subsidiary Genentech is using an AI system from GNS Healthcare in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to help drive the multinational company's search for cancer treatments. In May 2017, a group including researchers at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, demonstrated the role of a family of proteins called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) in blood-vessel development (P. Yu et al. Wuxi NextCODE uses AI as part ofits approach of classifying genes according to their roles and other attributes, to look for connections between RNA-sequence variations, expression levels, molecular function and gene location. By searching public databases, Adam generated hypotheses about which genes code for key enzymes that catalyse reactions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and used robotics to physically test its predictions in a lab.

Bogus remedies, myths and fake news about COVID-19 can cost lives. Here’s how some scientists are fighting back. Bogus remedies, myths and fake news about COVID-19 can cost lives. Here’s how some scientists are fighting back. A poster warning against the spread of 'fake news' online

Team science suffers when junior researchers see their career-defining contributions to a paper downplayed. Here’s how to tackle disputes. Team science suffers when junior researchers see their career-defining contributions to a paper downplayed. Here’s how to tackle disputes.

Intermittent fasting has gained a following, in part because of tantalizing hints that it can boost cognition, fend off cancer and even slow ageing. Intermittent fasting has gained a following, in part because of tantalizing hints that it can boost cognition, fend off cancer and even slow ageing.

Most in the scientific community have heard similar stories, often involvingjunior researchers who have given their all in collaborations only to then feel unfairly relegated down the author lists of resulting publications. In its 2016 report 'Team Science', an AMS working group concluded that a perceived lack of recognition of their contributions is the chief deterrent to researchers' participation in multi-group research (see go.nature.com/355cep). In another study2, a group at the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, carried out an online survey of almost 6,700 international researchers who had published papers that listed at least two authors. Many journals now require the disclosure of author contributions when articles are submitted. Since its launch in 2014, hundreds of journals have adopted CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy), a system that quantifies 14 roles (see go.nature. com/2tu28z).

Claims about food and immunity are everywhere. Now scientists are exploring exactly how nutrition acts on the immune system to boost health and treat disease.

Is countering falsehoods about the pandemic purely a public service, or might there be career benefits? \"I think scientists need to get out there on the front line, if they are comfortable doing so,\" says Jevin West, who is a data scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle. In March, the UK-based Science Media Centre, which provides journalists with comments and briefings from scientists, asked its network of experts to stick to their disciplines when responding to media queries about COVID-19. EIGHT WAYS TO SPOT MISINFORMATION Health sociologist Samantha Vanderslott at the University of Oxford, UK, studies how ideas, including misinformation, are spread through social media as part of her work on parental attitudes and decisions about vaccination.
