Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Can Internet search data illuminate the gun policy debate?
Gun violence is a major cause of death in the United States, yet the data necessary for informing the gun policy debate is woefully incomplete. Internet search patterns have the potential to serve as a valuable complementary information source to existing approaches.
ECMWF’s Year of Polar Prediction Dataset – a Reference for Polar Weather and Climate Research
Climate research and operational weather forecasting need reference datasets that allow detailed process analysis and Earth-system model evaluation, in particular in regions that are very sensitive to climate change and where combining models with observations is particularly challenging.
After the Paper: Starting a new face: from biochemistry to the biology of biofilms
After working with bacterial biofilms as model to understand the evolution of enzymes in complex environments, it was hard to go back to domesticated bacteria. In my new lab we will continue to bridge between biofilms' biology and evolutionary biochemistry.
