Federal law includes protections and rewards for tax whistleblowers. Washington, D.C., also has such measures, but at the state level, only New York does. Proposals have failed to pass in at least four other states. Could these laws be a relatively cheap and easy way for states to narrow their tax gaps?

Access to negotiation and conflict management education can transform lives and foster greater understanding between individuals, communities and organisations across divides.
Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, or TLRs for short. But what signals activate TLRs, and what is the relationship between the scale and nature of this activation and the substance being detected? In a recent study, researchers from the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) used an innovative method to answer these questions. The approach that they took might help to speed up the search for drugs to combat infectious diseases, cancer, diabetes or dementia. Their findings have been published in the journal “Nature Communications.”
