Cell phone–based money systems have been wildly successful in some countries like Kenya, while other places have ignored mobile money trials entirely. Why?

Last month a team from Myanmar-based Proximity Designs, design strategy consultancy frog and Studio D Radiodurans started a journey to map the changing financial landscape in Myanmar.

The UK-based Wellcome Trust, the world’s second-largest funder of medical research behind the Gates Foundation, has launched a free online magazine called Mosaic that is dedicated to longform science writing.

In an unusual twist, the content will be free for anyone to use under a Creative Commons license, provided they include attribution.
