...professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, but the Lebônê team members are some of the first to take it to the field. “They’ve done 99.9 percent of it,” Edwards says. “The Idea Translation Lab has been helpful in getting them from being students in a class to running a not-for-profit.” The group conducted a successful pilot study over the summer in Tanzania, where they worked with local families and experimented with the fuel. Currently, in most African countries, roughly...
...That's one argument, but the data doesn't seem to support it," says Craig Rush, professor of behavioral science at the University of Kentucky. In a study of seven cocaine-dependent patients, Rush treated them with dexamphetamine maintenance, then gave them cocaine in the lab. The effects of cocaine were blunted.

Instead, all of this data is being used to explore a new field known as collective intelligence...
