A cross disciplinary embodiment: Exploring the impacts of embedding science communication principles in a collaborative learning space (2016)
Book Chapter
Weitkamp, E., & Arnold, D. L. (2016). A cross disciplinary embodiment: Exploring the impacts of embedding science communication principles in a collaborative learning space. In M. de Vries, & M. van der Sanden (Eds.), Science and Technology Education and Communication: Seeking Synergy (63-84). Rotterdam: Sense Publishers

This chapter reports on the short term impacts of a workshop involving pupils and suggests ways in which by working together scientists, science communicators and teachers can co-develop engaging and inspirational learning opportunities that place sc...

From fun science to seductive science (2016)
Book Chapter
Viladot, P., Stengler, E., & Fernández, G. (2016). From fun science to seductive science. In A. Kiraly, & T. Tel (Eds.), Teaching Physics Innovatively 2015. ELTE University

Science centres and museums have undergone a great evolution in recent decades although it seems that, lately, the science museum model has been somewhat stagnant. Since the radical changes of the mid-twentieth century, it has developed towards strat... Read More about From fun science to seductive science.

Inspiring pupils to study Physics and Astronomy at the science centre at-Bristol, UK (2016)
Book Chapter
Stengler, E., & Tee, J. (2016). Inspiring pupils to study Physics and Astronomy at the science centre at-Bristol, UK. In A. Kiraly, & T. Tel (Eds.), Teaching Physics Innovatively 2015. ELTE University

An investigation was carried out to collect evidence that science centres can have a positive effect on young children’s formal education in Physics and Astronomy. We explored whether the science centre At-Bristol’s exhibitions and planetarium show a... Read More about Inspiring pupils to study Physics and Astronomy at the science centre at-Bristol, UK.

DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity (2016)
Book Chapter
Thomas, A. D., & Johnson, G. (2016). DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity. In S. Fukushima, & T. Nohmi (Eds.), Thresholds of Genotoxic Carcinogens From Mechanisms to Regulation (67-82). London: Academic Press

Answering the question of whether low doses of DNA-reactive genotoxicants are of negligible concern has become a global effort due to its central importance in human health risk assessments. As a result, a huge amount of data exists suggesting that l... Read More about DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity.

Oxidative stress and redox signalling in plants (2016)
Book Chapter
Hancock, J. T. (2016). Oxidative stress and redox signalling in plants. In eLS. Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9780470015902.a0026508

Cell signalling is a critically important aspect of biology, being the mechanism by which organisms, tissues and cells coordinate their activity, and survive environmental change and stress. Numerous bio-molecules are involved but small reactive comp... Read More about Oxidative stress and redox signalling in plants.
