COVID-19: Understanding novel pathogens in coupled social–ecological systems (2022)
Journal Article

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the spread of COVID-19 is explored using a social-ecological systems (SES) framework. From an SES perspective, the pandemic is the outcome of feedback loops and cascading interactions within an anthropologically distur...

Human identification: An investigation of 3D models of paranasal sinuses to establish a biological profile on a modern UK population (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Forensic anthropology aims to assist law enforcement with human identification by physically examining skeletal remains and assigning a biological profile using various metric and visual methods. These methods are crucial when a body undergoes extrem...

Managing potential pathogens in stored rainwater using small-scale in-situ electrochemical activation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Rainwater can be a lifeline for many people who do not have piped water supplies, experience dry seasons, or live-in fresh water scarce areas. The quality of stored rainwater can deteriorate over time, due to increasing concentrations of contaminants...

Chemical priming enhances plant tolerance to salt stress (2022)
Journal Article

Salt stress severely limits the productivity of crop plants worldwide and its detrimental effects are aggravated by climate change. Due to a significant world population growth, agriculture has expanded to marginal and salinized regions, which usuall... Read More about Chemical priming enhances plant tolerance to salt stress.

Phytochrome B enhances seed germination tolerance to high temperature by reducing S-nitrosylation of HFR1 (2022)
Journal Article

Light and ambient high temperature (HT) have opposite effects on seed germination. Light induces seed germination through activating the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB), resulting in the stabilization of the transcription factor HFR1, which in tur... Read More about Phytochrome B enhances seed germination tolerance to high temperature by reducing S-nitrosylation of HFR1.

Protecting great apes from disease: Compliance with measures to reduce anthroponotic disease transmission (2022)
Journal Article

The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human-wildlife interactions, such as wildlife-based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation,... Read More about Protecting great apes from disease: Compliance with measures to reduce anthroponotic disease transmission.

“One might tweet just for money”: Organisational and institutional incentives for researchers’ social media communication and public engagement practices (2022)
Journal Article

The changing media landscape and proliferation of social media potentially increase agency amongst researchers to communicate individually. It also points to a need for studying science communication at an organisational level to understand how scien...

Development of a paper-based lateral flow Prothrombin assay (2022)
Journal Article

Disorders of haemostasis result in both excessive bleeding and clotting and are a major global cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the developing world. A small number of simple tests can be used to screen and monitor for such dysfuncti... Read More about Development of a paper-based lateral flow Prothrombin assay.
