A new experiment asked 158 researchers in 71 teams to analyse the same #data and answer the same question: does immigration affect support for welfare policies? The results were all over the place - from strongly negative to strongly positive:
https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adz7173
The key finding: researchers’ political views mattered. Pro-immigration teams were more likely to find positive effects, while anti-immigration teams found negative ones.

Washington State University researchers utilized artificial intelligence to uncover an on-off switch that blocks herpesvirus entry into human cells. Their study, published in Nanoscale, combined AI-driven analysis, high-resolution molecular simulations, and lab experiments to identify a single amino acid responsible for herpesvirus entry. This breakthrough has the potential to find unique solutions to therapeutic problems and demonstrates the power of machine learning in biologic processes. #herpesvirus #viralcellentry #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #herpes #virology #infection #replication #fusion #onoffswitch #therapeutics #biologicprocesses #research
