Improving biomedical education in Latin America through open science hardware: A case study of one medical school in Mexico

The Advancing Biomedical Research & Education in Latin American (abreLA) program was launched in 2024 to train university students and professors to use open hardware and open software technologies in the classroom. Advantages of these technologies...

In defence of story-telling
We argue that narratives are central to the success of historical reconstruction. Narrative explanation involves tracing causal trajectories a...
In Defense of the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity: Response to Radder
We assess Radder's criticisms of the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and show that they either miss their mark or depend on...
Income and neighbourhood‐level inequality predict self‐esteem and ethnic identity centrality through individual‐ and group‐based relative deprivation: A multilevel path analysis
Abstract Although income and inequality (objective measures of deprivation and the distribution of income within a defined area, respectively)...
Indigenous community preferences for electricity services: Evidence from a choice experiment in Sarawak, Malaysia
Providing indigenous communities with electricity services requires an understanding of preferences to ensure that electrification schemes are...
Indigenous Identity and Environmental Values: Do Spirituality and Political Consciousness Predict Environmental Regard Among Māori?
Indigenous peoples often have a unique and deep connection to the land. However, quantitative research exploring this issue is scarce. The cur...
Individual attractiveness preferences differentially modulate immediate and voluntary attention
Abstract Physical attractiveness plays a crucial role in mate choice for both men and women. This is reflected in visual attention: people imm...
Inference, Prediction, & Entropy-Rate Estimation of Continuous-Time, Discrete-Event Processes
Inferring models, predicting the future, and estimating the entropy rate of discrete-time, discrete-event processes is well-worn ground. Howev...
Inferring processes of cultural transmission: the critical role of rare variants in distinguishing neutrality from novelty biases
Neutral evolution assumes that there are no selective forces distinguishing different variants in a population. Despite this striking assumpti...
Influencing recommendation algorithms to reduce the spread of unreliable news by encouraging humans to fact-check articles, in a field experiment
Society often relies on social algorithms that adapt to human behavior. Yet scientists struggle to generalize the combined behavior of mutuall...
Information architectures: a framework for understanding socio-technical systems

A sequence of technological inventions over several centuries has dramatically lowered the cost of producing and distributing information. Because societies ride on a substrate of information, these c...

Information Theory as an Experimental Tool for Integrating Disparate Biophysical Signaling Modules
There is a growing appreciation in the fields of cell biology and developmental biology that cells collectively process information in time an...
Information transfer within and between autistic and non-autistic people

Autism is clinically defined by social communication deficits, suggesting that autistic people may be less effective at sharing information, particularly with one another. However, recent research indicates that neurotype mismatches, rather than autism itself, degrade information sharing. Here, using the diffusion chain method...

Innovation through neurodiversity: Diversity is beneficial
Those experiencing high rapport or strong social connection are more likely to copy each other, or emulate each other’s ideas, either consciou...
Innovation-facilitating networks create inequality
Theories of innovation often balance contrasting views that either smart people create smart things or smartly constructed institutions create...
Insightful artificial intelligence
In March 2016, DeepMind's computer programme AlphaGo surprised the world by defeating the world‐champion Go player, Lee Sedol. AlphaGo exhibit...
Integrated information structure collapses with anesthetic loss of conscious arousal in Drosophila melanogaster
The physical basis of consciousness remains one of the most elusive concepts in current science. One influential conjecture is that consciousn...
Integrated information theory (IIT) 4.0: Formulating the properties of phenomenal existence in physical terms
This paper presents Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4.0. IIT aims to account for the properties of experience in physical (operational) te...
Interactive bioacoustic playback as a tool for detecting and exploring nonhuman intelligence: “conversing” with an Alaskan humpback whale
Here we report on a rare and opportunistic acoustic turn-taking with an adult female humpback whale, known as Twain, in Southeast Alaska. Post...
Interdisciplinary perspective-taking within argumentation: students’ strategies across science and religious education
Abstract The importance of developing students’ argumentation skills is well established across the curriculum: students should grasp how clai...
