A guided inquiry approach to students co-designing generative AI course policies

Purpose As generative AI (GenAI) use among students increases, educators face growing questions about how to support learning while addressing ethical and institutional concerns. This exploratory study examines a guided inquiry activity in which students co-designed a GenAI cours...

Ecological Engineering of the Human Gut Microbiome: A Narrative Review and Framework for Next-Generation Therapeutics

The human gut microbiome is a complex adaptive ecosystem whose functions arise from interactions among microbial populations rather than from isolated taxa. Nevertheless, many microbiome-directed interventions still rely on administering individual strains, with limited considera...

Identifying Research Priorities for the Development of High-Integrity Forest Carbon Credits

Abstract In the United States, voluntary carbon markets have gained significant traction in recent years. However, many offset standards, protocols, and credit ratings have come under scrutiny from the public and investors for failing to produce real or sustainable carbon offsets...

Existing racial and ethnic representation on top management teams predicts subsequent top management team appointments that preserve the demographic status quo
