What do energy modellers know? An ethnography of epistemic values and knowledge models (2020)
Journal Article

This article considers academic energy modelling as a scientific practice. While models and modelling have been of considerable interest in energy social science research, few studies have brought together approaches from philosophy of science and an...

Ethnography and evaluation: temporalities of complex systems and methodological complexity (2019)
Journal Article

In public health there is increased focus on evaluating ‘complex’ interventions for health improvement, examining how their multiple components interact dynamically with the contextual system in which they are delivered. Amid this complexity framing... Read More about Ethnography and evaluation: temporalities of complex systems and methodological complexity.

“Sit yourself down”: women’s experiences of negotiating physical activity during pregnancy (2020)
Journal Article

Approaches to understanding why physical activity (PA) tends to decline during pregnancy are generally based on individualized behavioral models, examining “barriers” or “enablers.” In contrast, we used a social practice approach to explore the ways...

Assessing Endogenous and Exogenous Hormone Exposures and Breast Development in a Migrant Study of Bangladeshi and British Girls (2020)
Journal Article

Timing of breast development (or thelarche) and its endogenous and exogenous determinants may underlie global variation in breast cancer incidence. The study objectives were to characterize endogenous estrogen levels and bisphenol A (BPA) exposure us...

Quantitative uniqueness of human brain evolution revealed through phylogenetic comparative analysis (2019)
Journal Article

While the human brain is clearly large relative to body size, less is known about the timing of brain and brain component expansion within primates and the relative magnitude of volumetric increases. Using Bayesian phylogenetic comparative methods an... Read More about Quantitative uniqueness of human brain evolution revealed through phylogenetic comparative analysis.

Parental knowledge of safe infant sleep and sudden infant death syndrome is inadequate in Croatia (2020)
Journal Article

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading category of death for post‐neonatal babies in wealthy countries and rates range from 0.06 to 0.9/1000 liveborn infants (1). Most research into infant sleep safety and SIDS is conducted in large count... Read More about Parental knowledge of safe infant sleep and sudden infant death syndrome is inadequate in Croatia.

Reactive and pre-emptive spatial cohesion in a social primate (2020)
Journal Article

Spatial cohesion in group-living animals is assumed as a risk-sensitive characteristic. Few studies have explicitly investigated this assumption or asked whether risk-related changes in spatial cohesion operate over short or long-term scales. We expl...

Sudden infant death and social justice: A syndemics approach (2018)
Journal Article

Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) prevention has focused on modifying individual behavioural risk factors, especially bedsharing. Yet these deaths are most common among poor and marginalized people in wealt... Read More about Sudden infant death and social justice: A syndemics approach.

Fluorescent retinoic acid analogues as probes for biochemical and intracellular characterization of retinoid signalling pathways (2019)
Journal Article

Retinoids, such as all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), are endogenous signalling molecules derived from Vitamin A that influ-ence a variety of cellular processes through mediation of transcription events in the cell nucleus. Due to these wide-ranging and... Read More about Fluorescent retinoic acid analogues as probes for biochemical and intracellular characterization of retinoid signalling pathways.

“In the United States, we say, ‘No breastfeeding,’ but that is no longer realistic” : provider perspectives towards infant feeding among women living with HIV in the United States (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction: Currently, the United States (U.S.) recommends that infants born to women living with HIV (WLHIV) be fed formula, whereas many low‐resource settings follow the World Health Organization's recommendation to exclusively breastfeed with on...

Does the grey mouse lemur use agonistic vocalizations to recognise kin? (2018)
Journal Article

Frequent kin-biased coalitionary behaviour is a hallmark of mammalian social complexity. Furthermore, selection to understand complex social dynamics is believed to underlie the co-evolution of social complexity and large brains. Vocalisations have b...

From the rainy place to the Burnt Palace: How social movements form their political strategies. The case of the Six Federations of the Tropic of Cochabamba (2019)
Journal Article

How do social movements form their political strategies? The relevant theory pays considerable attention to structure, and argues that when political opportunities are open, movements are more likely to opt for a systemic political strategy; when the...

Bat rabies in Washington State: Temporal-spatial trends and risk factors for zoonotic transmission (2000–2017) (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease that can affect all mammals. In the United States, the majority of human rabies cases are caused by bats, which are the only known reservoirs for rabies virus (RABV) in Washington State. We sought to cha...
