Data, disease and diplomacy: GISAID's innovative contribution to global health

Stefan Elbe, Gemma Buckland‐Merrett · 1 Jan 2017

The international sharing of virus data is critical for protecting populations against lethal infectious disease outbreaks. Scientists must rapidly share information to assess the nature of the threat and develop new medical countermeasures. Governments need the data to trace the extent of the outbreak, initiate public health responses, and coordinate access to medicines and vaccines.…

Inoculating the Public against Misinformation about Climate Change

Sander van der Linden, Anthony Leiserowitz, Seth A. Rosenthal et al. · 23 Jan 2017

Effectively addressing climate change requires significant changes in individual and collective human behavior and decision-making. Yet, in light of the increasing politicization of (climate) science, and the attempts of vested-interest groups to undermine the scientific consensus on climate change through organized "disinformation campaigns," identifying ways to effectively engage with the public about the issue across…

Extremely Cost‐Effective and Efficient Solar Vapor Generation under Nonconcentrated Illumination Using Thermally Isolated Black Paper

Zhejun Liu, Haomin Song, Dengxin Ji et al. · 30 Jan 2017

Passive solar vapor generation represents a promising and environmentally benign method of water purification/desalination. However, conventional solar steam generation techniques usually rely on costly and cumbersome optical concentration systems and have relatively low efficiency due to bulk heating of the entire liquid volume. Here, an efficient strategy using extremely low‐cost materials, i.e., carbon black (powder),…

Plastic Debris in the Marine Environment: History and Future Challenges

Imogen E. Napper, Richard C. Thompson · 6 Apr 2020

The success of plastic as a material has shaped the development of modern society and challenged older materials in many of their established uses. However, plastic is now a major component of litter and is extensively reported within the marine environment. Impacts from plastic debris have been identified as a major global conservation issue with…

Fate of So‐Called Biodegradable Polymers in Seawater and Freshwater

Amir Reza Bagheri, Christian Laforsch, Andreas Greiner et al. · 23 Jun 2017

The stability of polymers with CC and stable Cheteroatom backbones against chemicals, hydrolysis, temperature, light, and microbes has challenged society with the problem of accumulation of plastic waste and its management worldwide. Given careless disposal of plastic waste, large amounts of plastic litter accumulate in the environment and disintegrate into microplastics. One of the questions…
