3D printed obturators - An innovative journey.

The children suffering from cleft palate undergo physical and psychological trauma of a basic life function of feeding until the surgeon deems it suitable for corrective surgery. It is highly discouraging for the parents to face the ordeal being suffered by the child. Over the years, several modalities have been developed in the form of techniques and products to improve the feeding experience of the child.

Improving data access democratizes and diversifies science.

The foundation of the scientific method rests on access to data, and yet such access is often restricted or costly. We investigate how improved data access shifts the quantity, quality, and diversity of scientific research. We examine the impact of reductions in cost and sharing restrictions for satellite imagery data from NASA's Landsat program (the longest record of remote-sensing observations of the Earth) on academic science using a sample of about 24,000 Landsat publications by over 34,000 authors matched to almost 3,000 unique study locations.
