Journal Article
(2013). Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of the global response of Wolbachia to doxycycline-induced stress. ISME Journal, 925 - 937. https://doi.org/10.1038/ismej.2013.192

The bacterium Wolbachia (order Rickettsiales), representing perhaps the most abundant vertically transmitted microbe worldwide, infects arthropods and filarial nematodes. In arthropods, Wolbachia can induce reproductive alterations and interfere with...

Bristol girls dance project (BGDP): protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of an after-school dance programme to increase physical activity among 11–12 year old girls (2013)
Journal Article
(2013). Bristol girls dance project (BGDP): protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of an after-school dance programme to increase physical activity among 11–12 year old girls. BMC Public Health, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-13-1003

Background
Many children do not meet current UK physical activity (PA) guidelines. Girls are less active than boys throughout childhood, and the age-related decline in PA, particularly from early adolescence, is steeper for girls than for boys. Danc...

(2013). "Wrong, but useful": negotiating uncertainty in infectious disease modelling. PloS one, e76277 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0076277

For infectious disease dynamical models to inform policy for containment of infectious diseases the models must be able to predict; however, it is well recognised that such prediction will never be perfect. Nevertheless, the consensus is that althoug... Read More about "Wrong, but useful": negotiating uncertainty in infectious disease modelling..
