Abstract
A newly described pterosaur found in Germany, named Skiphosoura bavarica, sheds light on the evolution of these flying reptiles from small climbers to large flyers. A U.S. advisory panel is studying the risks of AI in creating dangerous pathogens, aiming to prevent misuse of computational models. Graduate students in science facing depression or anxiety cite research pressures as more impactful than teaching duties, with women, nonbinary individuals, and financially unstable students being more severely affected. Tel Aviv University has renamed a biophysics prize, removing the Sackler family name due to their role in the U.S. opioid epidemic. Cureus has closed six academic channels criticized for funneling questionable articles, and new research shows light-energized catalysts can break down PFAS compounds, known as "forever" chemicals.
