Seven preregistered studies (total = 2,443) demonstrate that feedback receptivity of people in power, or their openness to feedback, reduces bias concerns among members of marginalized groups (marginalized group meta-analytic = 0.53; nonmarginalized group meta-analytic = 0.10).

This article explores the role of in building a community of software and hardware developers focused on addressing global sustainable development goal (SDG) challenges. We theorize this movement as computational diplomacy: a decentralized, participatory process for digital governance that leverages collective intelligence to tackle major global issues. Analysing Devpost and GitHub data reveals that 30% of hackathons since 2010 have addressed SDG topics, employing diverse technologies to create innovative solutions.

Article Synopsis
  • The International Space Station's current food supply method won't work for deep space missions, necessitating alternative food sources.
  • This study investigates using the bacterium Cupriavidus necator to convert urea and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) into single-cell protein.
  • Results showed higher protein content in biomass when using lower dilution rates, increasing protein levels while decreasing undesirable components like nucleic acids and polyhydroxyalkanoates.

Invasive graft biopsies assess the efficacy of immunosuppression through lagging indicators of transplant rejection. We report on a microporous scaffold implant as a minimally invasive immunological niche to assay rejection before graft injury. Adoptive transfer of T cells into Rag2 mice with mismatched allografts induced acute cellular allograft rejection (ACAR), with subsequent validation in wild-type animals.

is a facultative chemolithotrophic organism that grows under both heterotrophic and autotrophic conditions. It is becoming increasingly important due to its ability to convert CO into industrially valuable chemicals. To translate the potential of into technical applications, it is necessary to optimize and scale up production processes.
