Specifically, his research deals with ELSI (ethical, legal and social implications) and RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation), frameworks for ethics in research, and he is a globally recognised researcher in the field.
12-Mar-2026 What a tiny primate reveals about the human heart’s pacemaker Howard Hughes Medical Institute By studying mouse lemur families, HHMI Investigator Mark Krasnow uncovered an important role for magnesium in human heart health and disease.
11-Mar-2026 A risk in the ripple: Understanding Heterobilharzia americana in dogs Texas A&M University Once considered rare and geographically limited, Texas A&M research suggests that H. americana may be more common — and more widespread — than previously thought. Dogs can become infected with H. americana, a flatworm that lives in the blood vessels that drain the gastrointestinal tract, by contact with freshwater.
11-Mar-2026 Robots vs. Therapists: live experiment tests AI’s ability to give relationship advice Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Can artificial intelligence offer meaningful relationship advice, or do human therapists still provide something machines cannot replicate? Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics explored this question during a public experiment at the InScience Film Festival in the city of Nijmegen.
11-Mar-2026 Welsh cohort first to test “life changing” product that could help end global period poverty Cardiff University A low-cost, self-sanitising and reusable period pad developed by scientists at Cardiff University has left the lab for real-world studies. Washable menstrual pad users in Wales are the first to test and share their experiences of using SunPad – a new period product, which harnesses the energy of the sun to kill bacteria, remove stains, and neutralise odours.
