Young scientists face unprecedented challenges in transitioning from postdoctoral fellowships to tenured faculty positions. We asked researchers from different generations for solutions to the scientific career crisis.

Watch the replay of Kevin Pelphrey’s Summer Institute session on brain structure and function.

A new service provides personalized voices for people who use speech-generating devices. The service, called VocaliD, could help the nearly 25 percent of children with autism who speak few to no words.

Highlighting retractions can keep researchers in check, and a top journal editor wants to rethink ‘impact.’

People with autism are twice as likely to carry alterations in genes that regulate the circadian clock, or the body’s sleep-wake cycle as those without the disorder. The findings may help explain why most children with autism have trouble with sleep.

Autistic adults should be partners in the research process, not just ‘subjects’ in a study, says Ari Ne’eman.

Watch the complete replay of William Catterall explaining how low doses of an anxiety drug alleviate autism-like symptoms in mice.

Nobel Laureate Tim Hunt resigns after ranting about women in labs, and American scientists blow $28 billion a year on research that can’t be replicated.

A rat study bolsters the ‘intense world theory’ of autism, and the stats around CRISPR will astound you.

A new resource reveals that gene expression varies more across tissues in one person than it does in the same tissue type among individuals. The findings, described 8 May in Science, indicate that the brain’s gene expression signature is unique.
