New research hypothesizes that the decision to cooperate or to compete is arrived at similarly in humans and chimpanzees, and can be replicated by Artificial Intelligence. To test this, researchers will conduct experiments related to foraging tasks for these three very different types of actors in a simulated forest VR environment.

In a new TWCF-funded study, hummingbirds, which are vertebrates, and bees, which are invertebrates, will be given equivalent foraging challenges. The research will explore how the spatial intelligences and information-processing of these two types of brain structures compare.

Spirit of America provides life-saving supplies, gear, and humanitarian relief to Ukrainian soldiers and civilian volunteers. A grant fromTempleton World Charity Foundation will fund the time, travel, and on-the-ground expenses for Spirit of America’s project personnel.

While there is a myriad of material available to therapists who work with trauma victims, what is lacking is a specific tool to gauge a client’s preparedness to forgive and start the step-by-step journey of addressing/overcoming trauma. The Shani Project aims to develop and distribute a Forgiveness Preparedness Tool to give therapists and clinicians concrete data to assess their client’s readiness for the forgiveness journey.

A new grant from Templeton World Charity Foundation will allow Blue Atlas Project to offer a second round of funding through their Scaling Up Local Agriculture Grant. They will be offering this round of funding to both Abaco and Grand Bahamas. The project, led by Kali Kirkendall, will be focused on small Food and Agriculture start-ups.
