Recent research by the University of Texas at Austin is taking that concept and transforming it something you could have on hand at all times. Or more literally, on your back at all times. In a study published in Scientific Advances, the team used a special textile to create a jacket capable of atmospheric water harvesting. “We wanted to rethink the form of the technology,” said UT Austin’s Guihua Yu, one of the authors…
Novo Nordisk’s breach reminds us that the industry must move beyond containment to total security. Novo Nordisk is the latest corporate giant to confirm that unauthorized actors accessed non-public data. The company is leaning on the standard corporate defense as expected- ensuring stakeholders that core operations remain functional and external security experts are involved. Let’s stop calling this a mere incident. In an era where pharmaceutical giants hold the most sensitive biological and personal records imaginable, a breach isn’t an unpredictable accident- it is a failure of baseline stewardship. While the company focuses on system integrity and business continuity, the…

In his 1927 paper, “A law of comparative judgment,” the American psychologist L. L. Thurstone proposed that when people select one option among multiple alternatives, they are picking the one that has the highest value to them, even though they cannot assign a particular number to that choice. Thurstone was a pioneer of “psychometrics” — a field built upon the premise that mental processes, which we cannot see, can nevertheless be measured and quantified. His 1927 paper laid the groundwork for what are now called random utility models, which provide a mathematical framework for describing human preferences — information that can…
