Open Access & Copyright: A View from the South

By Maha Bali. In all the discussions about open access and copyright, I want to add my story as someone from the Global South who strongly advocates for open access.

Virtual-Reality Lab Explores New Kinds of Immersive Learning

By Ellen Wexler. Music played over them — but to the wearer, the source of the sound seemed to move around the room. As the music quieted down, it sounded as if it came from farther away. As it got louder on one side of the headset, it sounded as if it came from that side. More...
