Religion is just about everywhere, but psychologists of religion have not studied it much beyond the United States and Western Europe. The International Death Survey was a step to address this cultural myopia, focussing on religion's relationship to death.
Why digital medicine depends on interoperability
Digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data or mobile applications, can improve medicine and healthcare. But why is the adoption of these technologies in clinical practice still so slow? One reason is the lack of interoperable data.
MetaMARC: Using Machine Learning to Identify Antimicrobial Resistance
Our recent paper "Hierarchicall Hidden Markov models enable accurate and diverse detection of antimicrobial resistance sequences" describes how machine learning can be a powerful tool in the detection of antimicrobial resistance.
Digging into the importance of bacterial DMSP synthesis in saltmarsh sediments
Our recent paper 'Bacteria are important dimethylsulfoniopropionate producers in coastal sediments' delves deeper into the contribution of bacterial DMSP production in coastal sediments compared to open seawater, with some interesting discoveries along the way...
