About this episode
The underrepresentation of women and minority groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related fields of employment and study is a widespread and serious issue in academia. Dr Suzanna Rose of Florida International University (FIU) is breaking down the barriers that women and minorities face in taking up faculty positions within higher education institutions. Her mission is to achieve, sustain and advocate for faculty diversity at FIU.

About this episode
Around the world, invasive species provide a major threat to global biodiversity. The Great Plains of the United States are among the most threatened ecosystems, where a noxious invasive weed is overpowering the native tallgrass prairies. Professor KC Olson and his team at Kansas State University are working to identify eco-friendly ways to naturalise the weed and preserve native prairie.

About this episode
The modern workforce needs to be more science educated than ever, yet the number of students in higher education enrolled in scientific subjects has not increased. Dr John Coleman at Langston University, Oklahoma, is developing novel methods for teaching scientific concepts that engage students in critical problem-solving skills. His research is increasing retention in scientific undergraduate degrees and is laying the groundwork for a transformative method of science teaching.

About this episode
Dr Simon Humphrey and Sam Dunning at the University of Texas at Austin have created a new lanthanide-based chemical sensor that can identify trace levels of water in many different solvents, and can even distinguish between normal water and ‘heavy water’. The team’s new material could potentially be applied to medical imaging and for cleaning up chemical spills.

About this episode
According to the WHO, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas by 2025. Therefore, managing our water resources is vital, especially in a changing climate. On that front, an interdisciplinary team from Kansas State University, led by Dr Marcellus Caldas and Dr Melinda Daniels from the Stroud Water Research Centre, seeks to understand how human-environment interactions and climate change affect water management and sustainability on the Central Great Plains of the United States.

Share Episode
About this episode
Researchers are heavily reliant on statistical techniques that are based on large sample sizes. Therefore, attempts to gain useful information from small samples can often lead to biased, or incorrect conclusions. Dr Rens van de Schoot at Utrecht University has shown that the limitations associated with small samples sizes can be overcome by using an alternative method – Bayesian estimation – as an all-encompassing approach to quantitative research. However, this approach comes at a price: expert knowledge must be integrated into the statistical model.

About this episode
Watching plants return to life after a spell of cold winter weather can seem like a miracle. For over a century, biologists have understood that plant survival depends on a variety of co-dependent mechanisms, yet their methods for coping with temperatures far below freezing are still poorly understood. Dr David Livingston and Dr Michael Wisniewski of the US Department of Agriculture have provided fresh insights into these mechanisms, with the help of remarkably intricate imaging techniques.

The Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1027 at the Saarland University in Saarbrücken and Homburg is an interdisciplinary research team that aims to achieve a quantitative understanding of the physical mechanisms at work when biological matter self-organises into complex structures. Such self-organisation allows biological systems to perform dynamic functions including cell migration and polarisation, cell-cell adherence and synaptic transmission, biofilm formation and tissue growth.

About this episode
We often hear how impairments in learning can have a negative impact on peoples’ lives but what about problems with forgetting? The inability to forget the association between everyday cues and previous traumatic events underlies anxiety-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Professor Stephen Maren at Texas A&M university is using cutting-edge techniques to reveal the neural basis of the relapse of traumatic memories.

Improving High Performance Data Analytics Platforms & Smart Systems: Resource Management and Middleware
Our rapidly increasing production of data is straining computer infrastructures to unprecedented levels. As researchers develop much-needed coping mechanisms, Dr Shikharesh Majumdar at Carleton University focuses on two important solutions to the issue: creating techniques for efficiently handling the analysis of large amounts of data and developing middleware platforms that unify geographically scattered computer and storage resources.

Peroxisomes on the Rise – Professor Michael Schrader, University of Exeter
Professor Michael Schrader and his team at the University of Exeter are working to decipher how specialised compartments within cells called peroxisomes are formed and function to perform vital roles in processing the lipids that coat nerve cells and in defending the cell against oxidative stress. The team is deciphering the fundamental molecular mechanisms that link peroxisomes to neurological disease and the process of ageing.

Vitamin D and Preeclampsia, Joining the Dots – Professor Yuping Wang, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Centre
Preeclampsia is a common but serious complication of pregnancy that can harm both mother and baby. Recent research has identified vitamin D deficiency as a risk factor for developing preeclampsia and also the beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation on this pregnancy disorder, but the mechanisms for this are still not clear. Professor Yuping Wang at Louisiana State University has been investigating this question by studying the effects of vitamin D on the placenta.
