The rise of science comedy: Comparing shows at science and arts festivals (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Little, H., & Weitkamp, E. (2019, December). The rise of science comedy: Comparing shows at science and arts festivals. Presented at 12th Forum Wissenschaftskommunikation 2019, Essen, Germany

Live science comedy shows have exploded in the past decade in the UK. These shows can range from stand-up comedy to musical theatre to panel shows and variety shows. However, there is very little empirical work exploring the rise in live science come... Read More about The rise of science comedy: Comparing shows at science and arts festivals.

The Great Escape: Exploring ‘Escape Rooms’ as science communication interventions (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Little, H., & Wilkinson, C. (2019, December). The Great Escape: Exploring ‘Escape Rooms’ as science communication interventions. Presented at Science in Public, Manchester, UK

Escape rooms are a recent cultural phenomena, whereby a group of players are locked in a room and must solve a series of clues, puzzles, or mysteries in order to escape. From an educational perspective, escape rooms have been praised for offering a m... Read More about The Great Escape: Exploring ‘Escape Rooms’ as science communication interventions.

An in vitro collagen perfusion wound biofilm model; with applications for antimicrobial studies and microbial metabolomics (2019)
Journal Article
Slade, E. A., Thorn, R. M. S., Young, A., & Reynolds, D. M. (2019). An in vitro collagen perfusion wound biofilm model; with applications for antimicrobial studies and microbial metabolomics. BMC Microbiology, 19(1), Article 310. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-019-1682-5

Background The majority of in vitro studies of medically relevant biofilms involve the development of biofilm on an inanimate solid surface. However, infection in vivo consists of biofilm growth on, or suspended within, the semi-solid matrix of the...

An in vitro investigation of microbial volatile analysis for diagnosis of wound infection (2019)
Thesis
Slade, E. An in vitro investigation of microbial volatile analysis for diagnosis of wound infection. (Thesis). UWE. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/4917997

Microorganisms produce a wide range of volatile compounds as a product of metabolism. As a result of their different metabolic capabilities, the profiles of volatiles produced will differ between species. This research investigates the detection of v...
