Blocked resources and the suspension of research scholarships threaten the future of Brazilian science, academics say.

The Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence were established in 2005 through several phases of funding, which are reported to end next year.

State and federal ministers say they will pump up science budgets by 3 percent per year for the next decade, as they have done since 2006.

A lack of resources ordinarily blocks young researchers on the continent from scholarly independence, but long-term support is no guarantee.

Scientists have attacked the government’s spending policies after it locked down nearly half of the money that had been allocated for science funding.

Overall, men received more money on average, but R01s were an exception.

For many, it’s not a question of when senior academics should leave their posts, it’s about how to distribute scarce resources such as grants and faculty positions more fairly.

Documents about the experiment challenge a Chinese government investigation’s finding that He Jiankui mostly acted alone.

Demonstrations took place in the country’s capital on Tuesday following what many researchers see as a threat to academic freedom.
