Urban Future
The World Economy’s Urban Future Aug 10, 2018 PARAG KHANNA Today’s major cities are often islands of stability and good governance in oceans of uncertainty, partly because they are better able to adapt to changing realities than entire countries. In this sense, they can serve as role models, if not vanguards, for the new political-economic models the world needs. SINGAPORE – Since the global financial crisis began a decade ago, the major countries of North America, Europe, and East Asia – which together represent the vast majority of the world’s economy – have been searching for sust... mais »

Gender
Using artificial intelligence to fix Wikipedia’s gender problem A San Francisco-based start-up company, Primer, is using an AI-based software tool to scour news articles and write Wikipedia draft entries for notable scientists whose biographies are missing from the online encyclopaedia. The software, called Quicksilver, has produced 40,000 short summaries, and publicly released a sample of 100 today. Its findings are helping researchers to improve the representation of female scientists on Wikipedia, which has a long-running problem with gender bias. Wired | 3 min read References: Qui... mais »

Cities sustainability
*How Can Scientists Help Make Cities More Sustainable?* - By Mark Fischetti on July 20, 2018 - - Researchers have data. Corporate executives have innovations. Mayors have real problems to solve. Yet these people do not necessarily understand how they can help one another make cities healthier and more productive. Enthusiasts from all three groups met at Springer Nature’s Science and the Sustainable City Summit held July 11 in Singapore to figure out how, together, they can create long-term livability and viability.

New flu vaccine
Nanoparticle vaccine protects against flu 07 Aug 2018 Belle Dumé [image: Bao-Zhong Wang, associate professor]Bao-Zhong Wang A vaccine made from double-layered polypeptide nanoparticles appears to protect mice against flu. The vaccine, delivered using dissolvable microneedle patches, might be adapted to treat other pathogens too. Seasonal flu vaccines must be updated every year by predicting which strains will be the most common. Mismatched vaccines are obviously not very efficient and provide only limited protection, which increases the risk of a flu epidemic. Ideally, universal flu va... mais »
