People around the world are becoming increasingly skeptical of science, says a new report analyzing global attitudes on the subject.
According to 3M’s 2019 State of Science Index, which includes responses from 14,000 people in 14 countries, 35 percent of respondents say they’re skeptical of science, an uptick of 3 percent since last year. Just over a quarter of the world say they’re suspicious of the role of science over the next 20 years — in the U.S., this number grows to one third.

Researchers analyzed grants given by the U.S. National Institutes of Health to 53,000 first-time principal investigators (57 percent men and 43 percent women) between 2006 and 2017.

 Love staying up late to catch up on extra work? You may think you're a natural night owl — but you could be hurting your overall physical and emotional health. Intriguing research suggests you might want to flip the switch on your schedule to improve both your work and personal lives.
