An open invitation to productive conversations about feminism and the spectrum of eating disorders (part 1): Basic principles of feminist approaches (2022)
Journal Article

Despite the long history of feminist research in the field and the clear relevance of questions of gender to this sphere, many continue to question the relevance of feminism for understanding and treating eating disorders in 2022. In this set of two... Read More about An open invitation to productive conversations about feminism and the spectrum of eating disorders (part 1): Basic principles of feminist approaches.

The tale of an ecological whodunit (2022)
Journal Article

This article considers how the colony collapse disorder crisis framed the decline of honeybee populations as an ecological whodunit. The work examines how this framing led to global interest in the bee decline, and has since encouraged significant ac... Read More about The tale of an ecological whodunit.

A novel hybrid control strategy of wind turbine wakes in tandem configuration to improve power production (2022)
Journal Article

The wind turbines that operate in the wake region of the upstream turbines produce less power and may suffer serious structural issues due to highly unsteady flows, which can reduce the life expectancy of the turbines. In this study, a novel hybrid w... Read More about A novel hybrid control strategy of wind turbine wakes in tandem configuration to improve power production.
