Unpacking Merit, Fit, and Diversity: A Multifaceted Framework to Academic Gatekeeping in Social Sciences at U.S. R1 Research Universities

open access: yesSociological Inquiry, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 417-442, May 2026.
This study draws on interviews with 50 sociology and business professors across two private and five public American universities, and proposes a novel “Merit‐Fit‐Diversit” framework to show how narratives of merit, fit, and diversity emerge at different evaluation stages of tenure‐track job candidates. The evaluation produces inequality because: merit

Self‐Healing Starch‐Based Ionogels with Hydroneutral Dipole–Dipole Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
This work introduces starch‐based, conductive, underwater‐healable, and transparent ionogels for soft electronics (SCUTEs). Starch macromolecules are partially substituted with cyanoethyl groups and incorporated with hydrophobic ionic liquid. The polar yet hydroneutral cyanoethyl groups facilitate strong dynamic dipole–dipole interactions that remain ...

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech Myzobdella lugubris and the Epibiotic Barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus on the Atlantic Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

Differences in Wetland Efficiency Affect Future Lake Water Quality

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wetlands are often constructed to counteract eutrophication or brownification of downstream waters, although our understanding of their differences in efficiency and effects is still scarce. Therefore, we here used the upper and lower 95% confidence limits of the average retention capacity of 11 wetlands to represent efficient and inefficient ...

Exploring the Use of Podcasting in the Medical Radiation Sciences

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The integration of digital media into health professions education has reshaped how knowledge is disseminated, accessed, and applied in both clinical and academic settings. This review explored the published literature relating to podcasting in the Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) and synthesized the scope of publicly ...
