Understanding the effect of seasonal variability on BaYaka children's foraging, cognitive development, and social learning
The Embodied Capital Theory posits that humans have longer childhoods, bigger brains, and greater behavioural flexibility than other primates because it takes longer to acquire the...
Development and evolution of diverse corona structures in Narcissus (Amaryllidaceae)
Daffodils (Narcissus) are an emblematic Spring flower, and their defining feature is the corona (trumpet/cup), which represents a novel floral organ.Rationale: Little is known abou...
Investigating the interactions of incretin hormone mimetics with hypothalamo neurohypophysial system arginine vasopressin and oxytocin release.
ur research focus over decades has been the osmoregulatory function of a special collection of neurones in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Magnocellular neurones (MCNs...
Investigating blood-brain barrier integrity in frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the 2nd most common form of dementia affecting younger people, with a typical age of onset in the mid-late 50s. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, me...
An Exploration of Flood Risk Management and the Potential of Integrating Lay and Indigenous Knowledge
This project will explore and critique the history of flood risk management across Australia, flood risk management elsewhere and the transferability of these strategies to Austral...
Exploring the diversity of solar wind-cometary interaction
Comets are compelling natural labs for plasma physics, hosting a large range of collisional regimes with heliocentric and cometocentric distances, which cannot be replicated in lab...
