More high schools are requiring financial-literacy classes. The pandemic may have played a key role Penn In the News MarketWatch More high schools are requiring financial-literacy classes. The pandemic may have played a key role In a co-authored journal article, Olivia Mitchell of the Wharton School explains when financial education is at its most effective. How open source voting machines could boost trust in U.S. elections Penn In the News MIT Technology Review How open source voting machines could boost trust in U.S. elections According to a collaborative report by researchers at the Wharton School, a voting machine vendor suing to prevent auditable paper records from being used in voting demonstrates that market dynamics can be starkly misaligned with the public interest. Structural elements of archaea Archaea, a unique domain of life, were discovered in the 1970s in extreme environments such as hot springs and salty lakes, with notable early studies conducted in locations like Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Initially considered unusual bacteria, their distinct genetics and biochemistry led to their recognition as a separate domain, emphasizing microbial diversity and evolutionary complexity.
