We argue that academia's performative obsession is inherently dehumanising. We seek to rehumanise academia by sharing a method for collective research and writing. Through a fresh approach to Freirean Reading Circles (FRCs), we offer a series of imag... Read More about Inconvenient academic workers?

A neurotrophin functioning with a Toll regulates structural plasticity in a dopaminergic circuit (2024)
Journal Article
Sun, J., Rojo-Cortés, F., Ulian-Benitez, S., Forero, M. G., Li, G., Singh, D., Wang, X., Cachero, S., Moreira, M., Kavanagh, D., Jefferis, G., Croset, V., & Hidalgo, A. (2024). A neurotrophin functioning with a Toll regulates structural plasticity in a dopaminergic circuit. eLife, 13, Article RP102222. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.102222.1

Experience shapes the brain, as neural circuits can be modified by neural stimulation or the lack of it. The molecular mechanisms underlying structural circuit plasticity and how plasticity modifies behaviour, are poorly understood. Subjective experi...

The narrative and design of Cicero's overlooked collection of letters to his brother Quintus (henceforth, QFr.) demand investigation. Within each book, the constituent letters delineate the trajectory of Cicero's life, transitioning from his politica...

Domain-specific risk assessment using integrated simulation: a case study of an onshore wind project (2021)
Journal Article
Mohamed, E., Gerami-Seresht, N., Hague, S., Chehouri, A., & AbouRizk, S. (2022). Domain-specific risk assessment using integrated simulation: a case study of an onshore wind project. Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 49(5), 770-782. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjce-2021-0099

Although many quantitative risk assessment models have been proposed in literature, their use in construction practice remain limited due to a lack of domain-specific models, tools, and application examples. This is especially true in wind farm const... Read More about Domain-specific risk assessment using integrated simulation: a case study of an onshore wind project.
