Will Wikipedia’s new universal code of conduct undermine the site’s grassroots?

Wikipedia’s new universal code of conduct.  Also, open banking launches in Brazil and will our digital identities be a cybersecurity risk in the future?

Wikipedia introduces its first universal code of conduct in an attempt to combat aggressive behaviour towards marginalised and ethnic communities.

Dr. Jessica Wade of Imperial College London discusses her own experiences whilst attempting to promote awareness of women in science.
