President Donald Trump unveiled his full 2018 budget request to Congress today. The spending plan, for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, fleshes out the so-called skinny budget that the White House released this past March. That plan called for deep cuts to numerous research agencies. But it did not include numbers for some key research agencies, such as the National Science Foundation. ScienceInsider will be scouring today's budget documents for fresh details. Come back to our rolling coverage for analysis and reaction.

If you think of good science communicators, it's likely that the names Brian Cox, Alice Roberts or Neil deGrasse Tyson may come to mind. But do you consider them good science communicators because they look competent or because they are attractive?
A new study published recently in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences from researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Essex suggests that when it comes to judging scientists, we are more likely to find an attractive scientist interesting, but more likely to consider their less attractive colleagues to be better scientists.

Getting back to job hunting after years in the same role is daunting. You know your routines, what skills you've developed, and how your abilities stack up with people you've worked with.
But what you're no longer sure of is how you look when compared to everyone else in the broader field. How do you draw attention when all the other candidates are using slick, new resumes and techniques? How do you know what actually works, and what's just someone's bad idea?

 Feeling rushed and stressed is no way to start a vacation. Similarly, feeling exhausted and full of dread is no way to return to work after a vacation. In this two-part article, we will look at how to successfully take and return from a vacation. A successful vacation reduces stress, increases our creativity and improves our productivity.

With the constant pressure to publish papers and get grants, it's easy to set aside anything that's not related to your research. But, you have other roles — as a friend, a partner, a child, a parent, to name a few — and the responsibilities of these roles and to yourself are important, too. Making time for life helps you not only keep a healthy state of mind and body, but also stay sharp at work. For some inspiration, these early-career researchers share their strategies for balancing the demands of their rising careers with their non-work life.
