  • Using agent-based models of a problem-solving task in a network, the authors show that clustering people of similar knowledge maintains solution diversity and increases long run system collective performance. Clustering those with similar abilities, however, lowers solution diversity and performance.

  • Druckman et al. document gaps in trust in scientists in the USA. People from groups less represented among scientists (for example, women and those with lower economic status) are less trusting. Increasing the representation of these groups within science increases trust.

  • Centrioles are essential for the formation of centrosomes, cilia and flagella. The centriolar protein Polo-like-kinase 4 (Plk4) is a key regulator of centriole biogenesis and for maintaining constant centriole number in cells. These authors show that the centriolar protein Asterless (CEP152 in humans) interacts with Plk4 and Sas-4. They find that Asl functions as a scaffold for Plk4 and Sas-4 that facilitates self-assembly and duplication of the centriole, and organization of pericentriolar material.

  • Social media and other internet platforms are making it even harder for researchers to investigate their effects on society. One way forward is user-sourced data collection of data to be shared among many researchers, using robust ethics tools to protect the interests of research participants and society.

  • Understanding the behaviour of the machines powered by artificial intelligence that increasingly mediate our social, cultural, economic and political interactions is essential to our ability to control the actions of these intelligent machines, reap their benefits and minimize their harms.
