Little, H. (2019). Communicating science: lessons from a Twitterstorm. JCOM: Journal of Science Communication, 18(4), Article L01. https://doi.org/10.22323/2.18040101

In early August 2019, the U.S.A. saw 2 significant mass shootings in just 48 hours. On Twitter, Neil deGrasse Tyson responded with a tweet to his millions of followers. He outlined the number of deaths in 48 hours from other causes, and seemed to dis... Read More about Communicating science: lessons from a Twitterstorm.

Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms (2016)
Journal Article
Lintott, P., Richardson, S., Hosken, D., Fensome, S., & Mathews, F. (2016). Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms. Current Biology, 26(21), R1135-R1136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.003

Demand for renewable energy is rising exponentially. While this has benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there may be costs to biodiversity [1]. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are the main tool used across the world to predict the... Read More about Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms.

Decreased expression of the mitochondrial BCAT protein correlates with improved patient survival in IDH-WT gliomas (2016)
Journal Article
Ellis, H. P., Williams, M., Hull, J., Conway, M. E., Hull, J., El Hindy, M., …Kurian, K. M. (2016). Decreased expression of the mitochondrial BCAT protein correlates with improved patient survival in IDH-WT gliomas. Brain Pathology, 26(6), 789-791. https://doi.org/10.1111/bpa.12385

Background and research question: Gliomas represent 43% of all solid intracranial tumours, of which glioblastomas have the poorest prognosis. Recently, the human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase protein (hBCATc), which metabolises the branch...
