The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Are Small Farms Better?
Many scholars have pondered whether smaller farms are better in terms of environmental, economic, and social outcomes. In our paper, we synthesize data from studies that have been conducted on this question over the last 50 years. We show that smaller farms have higher yields and biodiversity.
Research shows palm oil production can grow without converting rainforests, peatlands
Palm oil, the most important source of vegetable oil in the world, is derived from the fruit of palm trees grown in the tropics. Fruits are harvested manually, then transported to a mill for processing, and ultimately exported and made into an array of products from food to toiletries to biodiesel.
Can clinically validated digital therapeutics and rigorous clinical science address longstanding treatment challenges to improving outcomes for children with ADHD?
In spite of dozens of existing treatment options, children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) still fare poorly across many domains. We explore a new frontier in which digital therapeutics could help address these challenges for ADHD specifically and mental health more broadly.
