Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Does the risk from Covid-19 change over time?
In our paper in Nature Communications, we examine the risk factors for risk of hospitalisation and death from Covid-19 from October 2020 to April 2021 in 2.3 million adults in England.
Glycaemic control is associated with COVID-19 breakthrough infections
Patients' characteristics might also influence the efficacy of vaccines against COVID-19. We show that poor glycaemic control is associated with a decreased immune response to Pfizer vaccine and also with an increased incidence of breakthrough infections in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Behind the Book | Interplay of Quantum Mechanics and Nonlinearity
My new book illustrates how quantum mechanics, in combination with the nonlinearity in the quantum amplitude inherent in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, produces a plethora of interesting effects in the fields of polaron physics and Bose-Einstein condensation.
