University of Idaho Researcher Uncovers Surprising Way to Stop Beer From Exploding
University of Idaho

A potential solution to a common beer-spoiling menace could be bubbling up from an unexpected source, thanks to research led by Paul Rowley, an associate professor of microbiology at University of Idaho. The culprit? Diastatic yeasts — pesky microorganisms that can wreak havoc in brewing by over-fermenting beer, boosting alcohol content, altering flavors and, worst of all, causing bottles to explode.

Novel Pulmonary Valve Aims to Reduce Invasive Surgeries for Kids
Children's Hospital Los Angeles

One of the longstanding challenges of pediatric pulmonary valve replacement is size and the ability to accommodate growth. Young children tend to quickly outgrow fixed size valves—leading to the need for multiple invasive surgeries throughout childhood.Now, an investigational clinical trial at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is testing a potential solution to this problem: a novel pulmonary valve that can be size-adjusted as a child grows.

When Countries Hide Their True Public Debt, They Hurt Themselves, Their Citizens and Their Lenders
University of Notre Dame

Global public debt may soon collectively catch up to the worldwide gross domestic product (GDP), likely matching it by 2030. New research from a Notre Dame economist suggests that this could happen even sooner, thanks to countries’ hidden debts. This misreported debt can lead to higher interest rates for borrowers and lower recovery rates for lenders, suggesting indirect adverse effects on global financial stability and consumer welfare.
