Once nearly-extinct, stingless beekeeping is making a comeback in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The successes are led by Mayan beekeepers who blend agroecology and modern science into conservation approaches that simultaneously embrace traditional knowledge, intergenerational education, and an ethics of love and care into their beekeeping.

"Community Socioemotional Wealth: Preservation, Succession, and Farming in Lancaster County, PA"
"Community Socioemotional Wealth: Preservation, Succession, and Farming in Lancaster County, PA"
Family Business Review
Family Business Review
We find that owner-managers of Lancaster farms who choose to preserve their land willingly give up short-term profits for the long-term health of the farming community. This finding lets us extend the theory of socioemotional wealth (why owners may act in ways that don't necessarily maximize economic self-interest) from the family level to the community level.

"The Case for Removing Race from the American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guideline for UTI in Febrile Infants and Children"
"The Case for Removing Race from the American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guideline for UTI in Febrile Infants and Children"
JAMA Pediatrics
JAMA Pediatrics
The current AAP clinical practice guideline for UTI in infants and young children with fever problematically uses race as proxy for biological difference, despite scientific evidence to contrary. We argue that the current guideline's operationalization of race as a risk stratifier for UTI codifies a higher threshold for symptom severity and duration for Black pediatric patients than is required of their White counterparts and, in so doing, functions to reproduce racially inequitable outcomes.
