Summary: The authors develop an automatic Bayesian method to fit lens models for 59 galaxy lenses imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. They focus on adjusting the pipeline to achieve accurate fits for all lenses and establish the most challenging steps in the process. The method shows a high-success rate and provides a new approach to error estimation.

Summary: Reporting bias poses a threat to the transparency and validity of clinical trials, and accessing Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) can mitigate this to some extent. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) publishes clinical data under their Policy 0070, but there are considerable delays in the publications, reducing their potential impact on reporting bias.

Summary: This study investigated the quality of evidence and expected clinical value of treatments recommended by the Danish Medicines Council (DMC). The results showed that most recommendations by the DMC were based on low or very low-quality evidence according to GRADE ratings, and no recommendations were based on high-quality evidence. The added clinical value of the treatments was often not documented and rarely large.

Summary: France has a strong tradition of applying psychoanalysis in psychology, including in the legal field. This article discusses the consequences of limited use of knowledge about memory from cognitive sciences in court. The authors present published data demonstrating the limited knowledge of French expert witnesses on memory and provide an overview of two reports highlighting the failure of expert witnesses to utilize reliable scientific knowledge in their reports and courtroom testimonies. Recommendations for improving practices are proposed.

Summary: The field of genomics has greatly benefited from open data sharing, but as the volume of sequence information grows and more international genomics efforts emerge, the fairness of openness is being questioned. Redefining openness to address barriers to engagement and protect Indigenous peoples and global biodiversity is of immediate importance.

Summary: This study examined the contribution of lexical tone information to Cantonese sentence recognition accuracy and its cognitive correlates in adults with normal hearing. The results showed that sentence recognition accuracy decreased in noise conditions and working memory was associated with this decline in the two-talker babble noise condition. These findings have important implications for understanding the impact of lexical tones on sentence comprehension in tonal languages and the role of working memory.

Summary: It is not understood how changes in the genetic makeup of individuals alter the behavior of groups of animals. However, research on zebrafish has shown that even at an early larval stage they regulate proximity and alignment with each other through simple visual responses. Mutations in genes known to affect social behavior in humans disrupt these reflexes in individual larval zebrafish and change their emergent collective behaviors as well. Model simulations demonstrate that changes in these two responses in individual mutant animals can accurately predict distinctive collective patterns that emerge in a group. Group behaviors reflect genetically defined primitive sensorimotor motifs, even in young larvae.
