I liked some quotes in this article:
If you are going to teach science, you must give it in a historical context: you must stress how our current knowledge is the accumulation of course corrections. You must stress how it is a work in progress.

Simply put, societies that make room for science have an edge. They build and deploy better technology. They adapt more quickly to change.

Copenhagen is a great city, but it's not Amsterdam ... or any other Dutch city for that matter. This video explores the differences in street design taken by Copenhagen and citites in the Netherlands, to discover some of the finer points of what makes for great urban design.

Sketch a chemical structure in the browser.
Also has built-in functions for producing Wikipedia ChemBox for the structure (cool!).
This service works as a resolver for different chemical structure identifiers and allows one to convert a given structure identifier into another representation or structure identifier. It can help you identify and find the chemical structure if you have an identifier such as an InChIKey.
Does not seem to work right now, though.

Nature has launched a Platform for Responsible Editorial Policies. This facilitates transparent review and research into peer-review procedures, thereby contributing to open science and optimal journal management (see P. Wouters et al. Nature 569, 621–623 (2019) and F. Squazzoni et al. Nature 578, 512–514; 2020).
