Modelling for Pandemic Preparedness: A Need for a One Health Approach

In order to respond to the demands of agile governance, mathematical models have become a dominant source of policy evidence and a standard decision-support tool during various stages of disease management at strategic, tactical and operational policy levels. Other types of normative (value-driven) exploratory approaches may better identify and control the influence of longer-term drivers of disease spread.

The science behind COVID-19 testing: A resource for Higher Biology

By engaging with school students, scientists have an opportunity to enhance learning, share their passion for their subject, demonstrate the relevance of subject areas and highlight a diversity of career opportunities.

One Health in Action: Setting up a new testing node for COVID-19 with the NHS

When lockdown was announced across the UK back in March, and the seriousness of the pandemic began to hit home with daily bulletins from the UK and Scottish government on the news and the alarming spread of COVID-19 cases, many scientists, including those at SEFARI, looked to see what they could do to help with the national effort.

Dr Annabel Pinker

I am a social anthropologist, with around 10 years of ethnographic research experience based on fieldwork in Ecuador, Peru and the UK. I am currently researching the social, material, and political processes implied by moves towards energy decentralisation and the promotion of greater local participation in renewable energy production in Scotland. My ethnographic work follows three wind energy projects at different scales where relations between humans, wind and technology are being actively (re)negotiated in a variety of experimental ways.

Can you prevent a cowtastrophy?

Policies implemented in order to control Foot and Mouth Disease, such as large-scale culling of healthy animals, were often controversial. Other infections have the potential to cause similar problems.

Antimicrobials: A topic for the table

Antimicrobial is a broad term used to describe antibiotics that include antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasite and antiviral agents. The bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses evolve over time and develop traits (a resistance) which enable them to survive exposure to medicines that would normally kill them, and this can have life threatening consequences.
